Palestinian media claims 9 killed in overnight IDF strikes in Gaza
Palestinian media outlets report several Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip overnight that allegedly caused nine deaths.
A strike in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah, allegedly hitting a tent for displaced people near a hospital, caused five deaths and 18 people injured.
Four more fatalities and eight more wounded are reported in an airstrike on a house in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Strip.
The reports do not say if those hit in the strikes are civilians or terror operatives.
The IDF doesn’t immediately comment on either strike.
