Heavy Israeli airstrikes struck the Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, as part of the latest escalation in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

Reports indicate that the bombardments caused widespread damage, displacing civilians and further straining already overwhelmed shelters. Schools and makeshift facilities serving as refuges for displaced families were among the structures hit, according to multiple news outlets.

The strikes on Shati come amid intensified fighting that has left much of Gaza’s infrastructure in ruins. Residents continue to face shortages of food, water, and medical supplies, while humanitarian agencies warn of worsening conditions on the ground.

The escalation underscores the volatile situation in the region, with no signs of a de-escalation in the near term.
