Israeli Airstrikes Kill 10 at Maghazi Refugee Camp After Israel-Backed Militia Raid

At least 10 Palestinians were killed on April 7, 2026 in Israeli airstrikes on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza after clashes erupted between an Israeli-backed militia and Hamas's Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Investigative outlet Drop Site News reported that the Israel-backed Abu Nasira militia attempted to abduct Hamas operatives in the camp, prompting residents and fighters to resist. Israeli drones and aircraft then carried out multiple airstrikes on three locations in Maghazi, including near a school housing displaced Palestinians, killing at least 10. The incident highlighted growing tensions around Israeli-backed armed factions operating inside Gaza under the terms of the fragile October 2025 ceasefire, and raised serious questions about accountability for civilian deaths during militia operations.
