An Israeli airstrike targeted a funeral procession in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on July 17, killing at least 12 people and wounding 22 others. The strike hit mourners gathered for a victim of a previous attack. Simultaneously, the Israeli military utilized drones to broadcast evacuation orders for residents east of Deir al-Balah, forcing thousands to flee their homes despite the standing October ceasefire agreement intended to halt the two-year-long conflict.
