Israeli strike hits drug depot near Deir al‑Balah hospital, injuring civilians

On Saturday morning, Israeli fighter jets bombed a warehouse storing medicines near Al‑Shuhada Al‑Aqsa Hospital in the city of Deir al‑Balah in the Gaza Strip. The strike completely destroyed the depot and set fire to dozens of tents housing displaced families, with witnesses saying about 50‑60 tents were flattened and roughly a thousand people left without shelter.

The same day, six Palestinian civilians were wounded by Israeli fire in Deir al‑Balah and were taken to the same hospital. Hamas said the injuries underscore the need for Israel to honor the cease‑fire agreement, while a statement attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed a “historic” deal to disarm Hamas had been reached, linking disarmament to an Israeli withdrawal.
