Media outlets in Gaza report that 13 people were killed, including 8 women and children, in an Israeli strike in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.

According to the Al-Rad channel, some of the casualties had been on their way to receive treatment at a nearby medical center when the strike was launched.

Footage published by Gaza media shows the apparent moment of the strike, as several people walking past a shed are suddenly obscured in a thick cloud of smoke.

The footage could not be independently verified.
