A man was killed and several others wounded in an IDF drone strike on a car east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Palestinian media reports.
The IDF does not immediately comment.
The strike reportedly took place near the Bani Suheila roundabout, which lies about two city blocks away from the Gaza ceasefire line on the Hamas-controlled side. The killed and wounded were taken to Khan Younis’s Nasser Hospital, the reports say.
Separately, Palestinian media and a statement by the Hamas security apparatus’s so-called Deterrent Force identify the two men killed by an IDF strike in Gaza City’s Shejaiya earlier today as Hamas operatives who were targeted after a gunfight with anti-Hamas militiamen.
The men have been named as brothers Fahmi and Saed Qaddoum.
The IDF has not commented on the incident, which took place close to the Gaza ceasefire line on its Hamas-controlled side.
According to the Deterrent Force, which targets Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel, the “two resistance fighters” were struck after fending off “operatives of the collaborationist militias” who tried to abduct them from their home in eastern Gaza City.
The militiamen retreated after the brothers killed or wounded several of them, the Hamas force claims, without specifying which militias it refers to.
