Gaza City:Gaza Four Palestinian homes in northern and central Gaza were destroyed late Saturday by Israeli airstrikes, which also caused damage to dozens of nearby buildings, as reported by witnesses and sources.

According to Anadolu Agency, Israeli warplanes targeted three homes in Gaza City and another in Deir al-Balah following evacuation warnings issued for residential areas. Residents received evacuation orders by phone, leading to panic and the displacement of numerous families.

The strikes were directed at homes located in the Shujaiya, Al-17, and Rimal areas of Gaza City, as well as a residence belonging to the Al-Buhaysi family in Deir al-Balah. Witnesses confirmed the complete destruction of the four homes and damage to surrounding structures.

Additionally, a fifth airstrike hit empty agricultural land near Salah al-Din Street, east of Deir al-Balah. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported from these strikes, based on preliminary information.

Earlier on Saturday, Israeli drone strikes in Gaza City resulted in the deaths of five Palestinians and injuries to several others, according to medical sources. Since October 2023, the ongoing conflict in Gaza has caused significant loss of life and infrastructure damage, with over 74,000 Palestinians killed and more than 175,000 injured. The war has reportedly devastated 90% of the enclave's infrastructure. Violations of a ceasefire agreement have resulted in more than 1,470 Palestinian deaths and over 5,180 injuries, as stated by Gaza's Health Ministry.
