On 10 October 2024, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bombed Rufaida school-turned-shelter in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. The airstrikes killed at least 28 Palestinians and injured more than 54. The IDF did not issue a warning before striking the building, which was sheltering 1,000 people that were displaced by the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. The IDF said it have struck "command post used by terror operatives within the compound."
