Five Palestinians were killed in purported Israeli airstrikes in the southern Gaza Strip today, according to Palestinian media and Hamas authorities.

The Hamas-run Gaza Civil Defense agency claims that an airstrike on a home in the Khan Younis suburb of Bani Suheila early this morning killed three people, including an infant, and wounded a further 15.

Another strike in Abasan al-Kabira, also near Khan Younis, killed two other people, Palestinian media reports.

The military confirms it conducted strikes today on Hamas infrastructure in Khan Younis, on the eastern side of the Yellow Line — meaning IDF-held territory under the ceasefire — but says it is unaware of any casualties caused.
