Eight Palestinians, including a mother and her daughter, were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since early morning, according to Al Jazeera's reports based on medical sources. In Gaza City, an Israeli assault on a residential building claimed five lives, including one individual from Beit Lahia. Two more fatalities resulted from wounds sustained in earlier attacks, as reported by the Wafa news agency.

Muhammad Talaat Aqel, who was shot in the head during a prior attack, succumbed to his injuries. Among the five victims killed in the apartment block was a mother and her daughter, as confirmed by medics and the local church. The explosion leveled the building, igniting a fire within the rubble. A witness recounted the sudden onset of continuous strikes and explosions, describing neighbors' houses being struck and the tragic sight of dismembered bodies scattered amidst the debris.
