Around 5 pm, an Israeli drone strike targeted a Civil Defense point in Nuseirat camp's new market in central Gaza.

Six people were killed: 5 members of the Civil Defense, including director of operations in Nuseirat, and a journalist.

A Civil Defense member stated that the victims were struck while praying. The timing of the airstrike coincides with the Maghrib (sunset) prayer time.

Israeli Spin: As usual, the IDF spokesperson justified the massacre as an attack on "terrorists" without any evidence. He said that it had targeted the Civil Defense quarters in a “precise strike,” because it was being used as a “command-and-control center” by Hamas and Islamic Jihad to plan an “imminent terror attack against IDF troops.”

Names of the martyrs (identified):

1. Ahmad Bakr Al-Louh (cameraman for Al Jazeera)
2. Nidal Abu Hajir (Director of Civil Defense in Nuseirat Camp)
3. Khaled Al-Maqadma "Jackson"
4. Alaa Al-Naeezi (Civil Defense member from Gaza City, displaced to central Gaza)
