70-year-old mother and her son reportedly killed by Israeli drone in Gaza City’s Zeitoun

Two people were killed by Israel in Gaza City’s southeastern Zeitoun neighborhood, Al Jazeera reports, citing a source in the city’s Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

Hamas’s civil defense agency identifies the dead as a mother and her son. Further Palestinian media reports give their names as Rahma and Said Yassin, ages 70 and 45, respectively.

According to the reports, the two were killed by a drone near Zeitoun’s al-Shamah mosque, which lies on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line.

The IDF does not immediately comment.
