Desk note: Monexus has reported this strike conservatively, relying on Middle East Eye's field reporting and flagging the absence of IDF confirmation rather than adopting either the Israeli framing of targeted operations or the maximalist framing of indiscriminate attacks. Where Iranian state media outlets are cited for context on the wider regional picture, they are labelled as such; they are not used as primary evidence for casualty claims inside Gaza.
