At least six other people were killed and many others injured in an Israeli raid on a house in Jabalia al-Nazla in northern Gaza.
At least two members of the Gaza Civil Defense were killed in the latest Israeli attacks on the Palestinian enclave, according to rescue and emergency services.
A drone strike targeting the Civil Defense headquarters in Gaza City killed firefighter Nabil Bahloul and his son on Tuesday.
Another Civil Defense employee, Najib Sakr, was killed during the bombing of the Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City by Israeli forces.
“We received an emergency stress message… calling for help to put out a fire that broke out following an Israeli airstrike on a residential building,” Ahmed al-said Madhoun, member of the Civil Defense.
“We rushed to the scene. On the way, we received a call telling us that the site we were heading towards had just been shelled again. We went there and found dozens of people killed, including our Civil Defense colleagues torn to pieces.
Israeli army attacks on Gaza civil defense offices are increasing, said Tareq Abu Azzoum, Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent in Gaza.
“We are talking about 14 centers that were destroyed as well as 56 vehicles, including fire trucks and ambulances,” he said.
“Civil Defense operatives are unable to operate effectively in northern Gaza, where their services are in near total collapse due to repeated Israeli attacks on their members on the ground,” he added.
As a result, civilians are taking responsibility and coming together to carry out risky rescue operations, including extracting victims from the rubble of bombed buildings, Abu Azzoum said.
At least six Palestinians were killed and many others injured in an Israeli raid on a house in the Jabalia al-Nazla area of northern Gaza, according to Tel Aviv Tribune journalists on the ground. The house belonged to the Abu Warda family.
Civil Defense officials said the bodies of three children were still under the rubble and its teams were struggling to recover them.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said a mid-level Israeli ceasefire negotiating team would return to Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening after a “significant week” of talks in Qatar.
Additionally, an Israeli military investigation concluded Tuesday that the presence of Israeli troops inadvertently contributed to the deaths of six captives killed by their Hamas captors in Gaza.
The bodies of the captives were discovered in a tunnel in late August, an event that sparked some of the largest anti-war protests since the war began.
The investigation revealed that the six captives were killed by multiple gunshots from their captors after surviving nearly 330 days in Gaza.
The Israeli genocide in Gaza since October last year has killed at least 45,338 Palestinians and injured 107,764.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were captured.
