Gaza health officials said Israeli strikes killed five people and wounded several others across the Palestinian territory today.
“Five people have been killed since this morning in strikes by the occupation on the Gaza Strip,” reports the Hamas-affiliated civil defense agency.
Gaza City’s Al-Ahli hospital reports receiving “three dead and a number of wounded following an Israeli drone strike on the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.”
Two more individuals were killed and more than a dozen wounded in separate Israeli attacks in other parts of the territory, the civil defense agency and hospitals say.
One of those two was a Hamas police officer, according to a security source.
