Hamas civil defense says 2 killed in IDF strike; one IDed as Red Crescent medic

Hamas’s civil defense agency reports two people killed in an Israeli airstrike a short while ago on a tent housing displaced people in al-Mawasi, on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line, near Khan Younis in the Strip’s south.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society identifies one of the people killed in the strike as an on-duty Red Crescent medic, Hussein al-Samiri.

The Red Crescent also says its field hospital in al-Mawasi has received at least a dozen people wounded in the strike.

The IDF has not yet commented, though the strike comes after the military accused Hamas of a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire in which gunmen fired on Israeli troops in northern Gaza overnight, seriously wounding a reservist officer.
