Following the Hamas attack on southern Israel on 7 October, Israel launched airstrikes at different areas in the Gaza Strip. In the Shati airstrikes, four mosques were hit, the al-Gharbi mosque, Yassin mosque, and al-Sousi mosque. All were destroyed according to satellite footage, and local news reported an unspecified number of people were killed inside. The Palestinian Ministry of Health described the situation as "a massacre".

According to a recording released by an IDF spokesperson, between two residents of the Al-Shati, Hamas prevented civilians from leaving the area in order to use them as human shields.

On 19 October 2024, an Israeli airstrike killed at least 73 people at the Asmaa School, according to Gaza’s Civil Defense.
