At least one person has been killed and several others injured following an Israeli strike near a camp sheltering displaced families in central Gaza, highlighting the continued volatility despite a fragile ceasefire. The incident took place near Deir al-Balah, where tents housing civilians were reportedly engulfed in flames, sending thick plumes of smoke into the air.

Local emergency services said the strike hit close to a site hosting people forced from their homes during the ongoing genocidal war. A young man, identified as 22-year-old Abdul Rahman Qanbour, was confirmed dead, while multiple others were treated for injuries. Witnesses described scenes of panic as explosions were heard, with debris falling across nearby tents and causing further harm to those already living in precarious conditions.

Residents in the area reported hearing warnings followed by powerful detonations, underscoring the persistent insecurity faced by displaced communities. The incident comes amid ongoing accusations of ceasefire violations, with casualties continuing to be reported despite the truce in place since October 2025. With access for international media still heavily restricted, independent verification remains difficult, leaving civilians caught in an environment marked by uncertainty and repeated danger.
