At least seven Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City on Nakba Day, according to reports from Al Jazeera and Anadolu. The attacks targeted a residential building in the Rimal area and a civilian vehicle, leaving three people dead in the vehicle strike and four in the building strike. Among the dead were three women and a child, while about 45 others were reported injured, several critically.

Eyewitnesses told Al Jazeera that at least four missiles were fired, causing a massive fire in the residential building and widespread panic among residents. Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said hundreds of people lived in the targeted building and that the strikes came without prior warning. Many families were affected, with entire households among the casualties.

The attacks occurred on the 78th anniversary of Nakba Day, which marks the 1948 displacement of approximately 750,000 Palestinians following the creation of Israel.
