The al-Aqsa hospital in the city of Deir al-Balah reports that the attack hit people queuing to receive nutritional supplements. Images from the hospital show bodies of children and adults lying on the floor while medical staff treat their injuries.

According to the Israeli military IDF, the attack was aimed at a Hamas terrorist in the area who participated in the attack in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. It says that it "regrets damage to individuals who were not involved" and that the incident is under investigation.

A witness, Yousef Al-Aydi, tells the news agency AFP that he was one of about ten people, mainly women and children, who were standing in line to receive nutritional supplements.

Suddenly we heard the sound of a drone approaching, and then the explosion occurred, he says over the phone to AFP and continues:

The ground shook under our feet and everything around us turned into blood and deafening screams.

The information about the attack has not been able to be verified by independent sources, reports AFP.

An additional 26 people have been reported killed in attacks on other locations in Gaza on Thursday. The information comes at the same time as talks about a ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist-stamped Hamas are ongoing in Qatar's capital Doha.
