Medical officials reported that numerous individuals sustained critical injuries, with casualties present both within and outside the vehicle.
“Nine individuals, among them several journalists and workers from the Al-Khair Charitable Organisation, have been hospitalized after an incident in Beit Lahia. According to civil defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal, a drone strike targeted their vehicle, coinciding with artillery shelling in the area.”
Eyewitnesses and reporters at the scene have confirmed that the occupants of the vehicle were undertaking a mission on behalf of a charitable organization in the area. They were in the company of journalists and photographers when the strike occurred. In related developments, senior representatives from Hamas engaged in discussions with Islamic Jihad Movement leaders in Doha, focusing on the implementation of a ceasefire in Gaza.
