In al-Zaytoun neighborhood, three people were killed and five injured in a bombing. Additionally, one Palestinian was killed, and three were wounded in the al-Sabra area.

Israeli occupation forces also torched an ambulance and destroyed nearby homes near Kamal Adwan Hospital. Meanwhile, severe storms with strong winds and rain caused significant damage, forcibly displacing many people, particularly along Gaza's coastline.

While some of the victims were transported to the few partially functioning hospitals in the Strip, most of them remain trapped beneath the rubble, with almost impossible means to get out amid the continuous Israeli obstruction of rescue operations.
