An Israeli airstrike on a mosque-turned-shelter in Gaza’s Deir al-Balah killed 26 people early Sunday, according to the Gaza health ministry. The mosque, which was sheltering displaced civilians, was struck by Israeli forces targeting Hamas militants. Israel's military confirmed a "precise strike" aimed at a Hamas command center operating inside the mosque. Civil defense authorities initially reported 21 casualties before the toll rose. This strike is part of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, further escalating violence in the region.
