At least five people were killed after an Israeli strike hit a wedding gathering in the Gaza Strip, according to local reports.
The attack reportedly occurred while families and guests were gathered for a wedding celebration, causing panic and injuring several other people at the scene.
Witnesses said women and children were among those wounded, as emergency and medical teams rushed to assist victims following the strike.
Health officials in Gaza warned that the death toll could rise because some of the injured remain in critical condition.
The Israel military said it was reviewing the reports and repeated that its operations target sites allegedly linked to Hamas.
Residents and human rights organizations condemned the attack, arguing that civilians continue to bear the heaviest toll of the ongoing conflict.
The war in Gaza has caused widespread destruction, heavy civilian casualties, and severe damage to homes and infrastructure, while international organizations continue to call for a ceasefire and stronger protection for civilians.
Aid groups and analysts warn that continued strikes on populated areas are worsening the humanitarian crisis in the territory.
