The Hamas-run Gaza civil defense rescue service says that Israeli airstrikes in the Palestinian territory had killed seven people overnight.
Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the group, which operates under the authority of the Hamas terror group, says an Israeli drone had fired two missiles close to a police post in the Al-Bureij refugee camp.
In addition to the seven dead, he says, several more people were wounded, four of them critically.
The Al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza says it had received six bodies and seven wounded, “including four in a critical condition because of direct impacts to the face, torso and other parts of the body.”
The nearby al-Awda hospital says it had received one fatality and two wounded.
The figures do not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
Reached for comment by AFP, the Israeli military says it was working to verify the information.
