Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent

Hamas-affiliated Palestinian media outlets in Gaza report that an 8-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man were killed in an Israeli strike this morning in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

They also report that a child, whose age is not specified, was killed overnight in a separate strike on a residential building in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

An Israeli security official tells The Times of Israel that the strikes are known to the military and were directed at terror operatives.

The IDF has not yet commented on either incident.
