The central Gaza Strip has witnessed a tragic escalation in violence as the death toll from Israeli strikes has climbed to 25, including five children, according to hospital officials. The strikes, which occurred in the Nuseirat refugee camp, resulted in the initial report of 16 casualties on Thursday. However, the Al-Aqsa hospital has continued to receive bodies, with a total of 21 dead bodies from the strikes, some of which were transferred from the Awda hospital.
Among the victims were an 18-month-old child and his 10-year-old sister, whose father had been killed in a previous Israeli airstrike four months ago. The children's mother was reported missing as of Friday. Additionally, four more individuals lost their lives in strikes on a motorcycle in Zuwaida and a house in Deir al-Balah on Friday, bringing the overall toll to 25.
