At least 12 people, including children, have died and dozens are missing after a multi-story building collapsed in Gaza City's Tal al-Hawa area. Local rescue teams are searching the rubble, where 10 families had reportedly been residing despite warnings of the building's unsafe condition. The Hamas-run Civil Defence rescue service initially faced equipment shortages due to Israeli restrictions but has since acquired heavy machinery. This incident follows recent Israeli air strikes in Gaza that killed at least five Palestinians, including two children and a Hamas commander, according to health officials and Hamas sources. The Israeli military stated it killed a Hamas commander and another fighter, with reports indicating a child was also killed in both instances. Additionally, a patient was reportedly killed by an Israeli drone at a health center in northern Gaza supported by the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians.
