At least six people were killed and several others injured after an Israeli strike targeted a wedding gathering in Gaza City, according to local medical sources.
The attack reportedly struck a wedding tent on Saturday, turning what had been a celebration into a scene of destruction and panic within moments.
Medical officials at al-Shifa Hospital said at least 15 people were wounded in the incident, while local reports indicated that women and children were among the casualties. Health workers warned that the death toll could rise due to the severity of injuries.
Witnesses and local journalists said multiple projectiles exploded in or near the wedding tent, causing widespread damage and sending shrapnel into nearby areas crowded with displaced civilians.
According to reports from the scene, fragments from the explosions also struck a nearby school being used as a shelter for displaced families.
Relatives and survivors said the wedding venue was heavily crowded at the time of the strike, with many families gathered for the event.
Residents described scenes of chaos as emergency teams and civilians rushed to help the injured and transport victims to nearby medical facilities.
The incident comes amid continuing violence across Gaza, where repeated air strikes and military operations have caused growing civilian casualties and widespread displacement.
Local residents say fear and uncertainty continue to dominate daily life, with many civilians expressing concern that even social gatherings and shelters are no longer safe from attacks.
Israeli authorities had not immediately issued a statement regarding the incident at the time of reporting.
The latest strike adds to mounting humanitarian concerns in Gaza as hospitals, shelters, and civilian infrastructure remain under severe pressure during the ongoing conflict.
