Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight killed four Palestinians, according to local health officials from Hamas-controlled authorities.
Gaza’s Hamas-controlled civil defense agency says a number of people were additionally injured in an Israeli airstrike on tents near the Al-Iqleem area.
The figures cannot be independently verified and do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
There is no comment from the Israeli military, which has said in the past that it is targeting terror operatives and infrastructure in the Strip.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques. Palestinian civilians say nowhere in Gaza is safe.
