Palestine Dialogue Network reported that multiple people were injured Saturday after an Israeli bombing near Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.

The reports did not immediately provide a precise number of casualties or details on the severity of the injuries. The incident comes amid continued Israeli strikes and shelling across the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire.

Local reports state the bombing occurred in the vicinity of the hospital, which has repeatedly come under attack during the conflict. Palestinian health officials have previously reported damage to medical facilities and the loss of essential supplies following Israeli strikes near the hospital.

Separately on Saturday, local and medical sources reported Israeli attacks in several parts of Gaza. The International Middle East Media Centre said an Israeli drone killed a Palestinian farmer east of Deir al-Balah, while another drone attack killed a Palestinian near a displacement camp in the Al-Mawasi area of southern Gaza.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said hospitals received 10 bodies and 18 wounded people during the previous 48 hours, according to the report.
