The Gaza Health Ministry reported that the attack resulted in fires breaking out in tents within an area where displaced people were seeking shelter.
The Israeli military stated that its attack was a targeted airstrike that resulted in the death of Yassin Rabia, the Hamas chief of staff for the West Bank.
On Monday, Qatar’s foreign ministry expressed concern that the attack could complicate ongoing efforts to mediate stalled ceasefire talks and the release of hostages held in Gaza.
Israeli officials claim that the Israel-Hamas war was sparked by a Hamas attack on October 7 that resulted in the deaths of 1200 people and the capture of approximately 250 hostages.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, Israel's subsequent counteroffensive has led to the deaths of over 36,000 Palestinians, including both civilians and combatants.
