Israel conducts an airstrike on the central Gaza Strip, according to Al Arabiya.

Strikes of this kind inside Gaza have, through the current conflict, been a recurring feature rather than a discrete event, and the established market pattern is that isolated tactical operations within the strip move the dollar, crude and gold only briefly and at the margin. What has historically repriced assets is escalation breadth: the distinction worth drawing is between activity confined to Gaza, which past episodes suggest fades within the session, and anything that pulls in a second front, whether northern border exchanges, Red Sea shipping disruption, or direct state-to-state confrontation, since those channels transmit into crude via supply and insurance premia and into the dollar via haven flows. Sourcing from regional media rather than official Israeli confirmation is typical of the early tape on these events; the follow-ons are confirmation, casualty and target detail, and any response from outside parties. Absent escalation markers, prior form is that the move reverts as the headline is absorbed as routine.
