Zeitoun shelling killed a Palestinian woman and injured several other civilians after Israeli artillery reportedly struck the Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City, according to local ambulance and emergency officials.
Medical teams quickly reached the area, treated the wounded and transported them to nearby hospitals. The latest incident has added to growing concerns about civilian casualties across Gaza as military operations continue.
Zeitoun Shelling Hits Civilian Area
Emergency officials said artillery fire struck near a group of civilians gathered in the Zeitoun neighbourhood.
Rescue crews responded within minutes and evacuated injured residents from the area. Teams also searched nearby streets for additional victims who may have been trapped or wounded.
Authorities have not yet released the identities of those injured in the attack.
Second Incident Reported in Zeitoun
Officials said the latest Zeitoun shelling occurred separately from an earlier incident reported in the same neighbourhood.
Residents searched damaged streets while emergency workers continued rescue and recovery operations.
Medical teams remained on standby as authorities assessed the area and looked for additional casualties.
Deaths Continue Across Gaza
Hospital officials reported that at least 24 Palestinians had been killed in Israeli attacks across different parts of the Gaza Strip since the previous day.
Medical sources also reported that separate attacks on Gaza City had killed 10 people, including three children, since dawn.
Doctors warned that the death toll could increase as rescue workers continue searching damaged areas and recovering victims.
Healthcare System Remains Under Pressure
Hospitals across Gaza continue treating large numbers of wounded people while facing shortages of medical supplies and other essential resources.
Doctors and emergency workers say the continuing flow of casualties is placing additional pressure on already strained healthcare facilities.
The situation has made it increasingly difficult for medical teams to provide timely treatment to everyone requiring urgent care.
International Concern Grows
The latest Zeitoun shelling has intensified international concern over the humanitarian consequences of the conflict.
Aid organisations continue calling for greater protection of civilians and improved access for humanitarian assistance in affected communities.
Meanwhile, rescue operations remain underway as authorities monitor developments across Gaza, where the security and humanitarian situation remains highly volatile.
