The Israeli military stated it struck targets to remove security threats, while Hamas-run Gaza media office director Ismail Al-Thawabta claimed an Israeli special force mission was discovered during the operation, prompting the heavy airstrikes.
In a separate incident east of Deir Al-Balah, medics reported Israa Al-Hissi was killed and two others wounded when Israeli forces opened fire on the area, according to a statement from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Residents remain fearful of constant drone activity, with relative Amjad Abu Abdo stating, "Swear, we do not sleep from the sound of drones. You sleep scared of being hit." Fear persists despite the ceasefire.
