Palestinian media reports an Israeli airstrike targeting a tent housing displaced Gazans in the al-Mawasi area in the Strip’s south.

The IDF has not yet commented, though the strike comes after the military accused Hamas of a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire when gunmen fired on troops in northern Gaza overnight, seriously wounding a reservist officer.
