Israeli airstrikes on October 6, 2024, targeted a mosque and a school in Deir al-Balah, killing 26 people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The strikes injured at least 93 others, striking Ibn Rushd school and Al-Aqsa Martyrs mosque, which housed displaced Palestinians. The Israeli military stated it aimed at Hamas militants within "command and control" centres at these locations. The strikes occurred nearly a year after the deadly Hamas attack on Israel, which marked a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, resulting in the deaths of over 41,000 Palestinians since then.
