IDF Drone Strike on Displaced Persons Tent Camp Kills 6+ in Gaza City, Groom Among Dead

| Israel-Palestine

An Israeli drone struck a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City on June 6, 2026, killing at least 6 and wounding 15 or more. A wedding was being held in an adjacent tent at the time; the groom was among those killed, hours before his planned celebration. Women and children were among the casualties. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasim condemned the strike as a 'horrific massacre of displaced civilians.' The IDF told AFP it had 'targeted terrorists in that sector' but provided no specific targeting justification. Al Jazeera reported at least 10 Palestinians were killed in multiple strikes across Gaza on June 6. The incident drew particular media attention because video footage showed the immediate aftermath of the wedding celebration interrupted by the strike. Gaza's cumulative post-ceasefire death toll continues to climb past 960+ since October 11, 2025.
