Reports: Israeli airstrike destroys Gaza City mosque near displacement camp

Al Jazeera Sudan reports video of an Israeli strike hitting a Gaza mosque next to a camp sheltering displaced people, with injuries reported but details unconfirmed.

What happened

Al Jazeera Sudan reports video footage showing an Israeli airstrike hitting Al-Muttaqin Mosque in Gaza City next to Yarmouk Stadium, where dozens of displaced people are sheltering in tents. The strike caused a large explosion that destroyed the mosque and injured several Palestinians, according to the report.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. The source identifies the projectile as an Israeli airstrike but does not provide independent verification or detailed casualty figures. The location near a displacement camp adds urgency given the vulnerability of civilians in such areas.

While the report confirms injuries, it does not specify numbers or the condition of the wounded, nor does it provide any response from the parties involved in the strike.
