An Israeli drone strike on Saturday targeted a medical supply area within the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital compound in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, injuring three people, hospital officials said. The attack involved a tent serving as a warehouse for medical supplies, according to the hospital’s director.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed conducting an airstrike at the hospital compound. The military stated it targeted a Hamas commander at the site, though no independent evidence has been provided to verify this claim. In a separate incident, an Israeli quadcopter reportedly dropped an explosive device near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, according to hospital sources.

Elsewhere, two fatalities were reported in other Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, though details about these incidents and the victims were not immediately available.

Meanwhile, tensions escalated in the West Bank village of Qusra, which has experienced ongoing pressure from Israeli settlers in recent weeks. Reports emerged of dozens of Israeli settlers barricading themselves inside a Palestinian residence in the village, intensifying a standoff that has lasted for approximately three weeks. Radical settlers have been accused of besieging multiple Palestinian homes in Qusra during this period.

These developments come amid a broader pattern of violence and confrontations between Israeli forces, settlers, and Palestinian residents across Gaza and the West Bank. The situation remains volatile with concerns over civilian safety and access to medical care in the affected areas.
