Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli attacks in Gaza kill at least eight people, a spokesman for the Hamas-run civil defense agency tells AFP.
“At least eight martyrs as a result of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City at dawn,” with seven killed in strikes on residential buildings and one in the Al-Shati refugee camp to the west of Gaza City, says spokesman Mahmoud Bassal.
Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City also reports 15 people wounded in the strikes, he adds.
The figures are not independently verified, and they do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
דיווחים בעזה על ארבע תקיפות שונות הלילה בעיר עזה שהביאו למספר גבוה יחסית של 8 הרוגים ו-15 פצועים. התקיפות בעזה נמשכות באופן כמעט יומיומי בחודשים האחרונים אבל בדרך כלל (למעט חיסולים של בכירי חמאס) היקף הנפגעים נמוך יותר pic.twitter.com/pSGTLy1Iv3
