Rescuers and people search the rubble for casualties following an Israeli strike on the municipality building in Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on december 14, 2024, as the war continues between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas group. Gaza's civil defence said Israeli strikes on the territory killed 17 people on December 14, ten at the Deir el-Balah town hall including mayor Deiab al-Jaro, and seven at the Al-Majida Wasila UN school housing displaced people west of Gaza City.
