Prayers Held for Victims of Gaza Airstrikes

Prayers were held for ten Palestinians, including children, in Gaza's Deir al-Balah following an Israeli airstrike on a house in Nuseirat camp, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

At least eight family members were killed in the airstrike, said one of the relatives, at Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital.

Bodies of adults and children in body bags were seen lined up, as men performed prayers for those killed in the airstrike.

At least four people have been killed and several injured following an Israeli airstrike in Gaza's Al-Mawasi area, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

Injured Palestinians, including children, were seen arriving at Nasser Hospital in ambulances, horse-drawn carts and motorcycle carriers.

Residents of Gaza’s Nuseirat searched through the rubble of a house.

A resident of the area said that they retrieved nine bodies from under the rubble.

Displaced Palestinians fear that the upcoming winter and ensuing rainfall will bring misery to those housed in worn out makeshift tents.

Worn pieces of cloth hang from ramshackle makeshift tents that have been taken down and erected numerous times, in the midst of rubble from destroyed buildings.

Meanwhile Israel's Iron Dome defense system intercepted rockets near its border with Lebanon as Israel's defense minister warned the window was closing for a diplomatic solution to the standoff with Hezbollah.

While the war in Gaza has been Israel's main focus since the attack by Hamas-led gunmen on Oct. 7 last year, the precarious situation in the north has fueled fears of a regional conflict that could drag in the United States and Iran.

Hezbollah has said it does not seek a wider war at present but would fight if Israel launched one.

Hundreds of Hezbollah fighters and dozens of Israeli soldiers and civilians have been killed in the exchanges of fire.

The hostilities across the Lebanese-Israeli border have forced tens of thousands of people to leave both sides of the frontier.
