Two people have been killed and several others wounded in an Israeli strike on a home in Gaza City’s eastern Tuffah neighborhood a short while ago, according to Palestinian media.

The dead are not immediately identified. Footage published by Palestinian media shows people wounded in the strike arriving at Gaza City’s al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, including an elderly woman in a bloodied headscarf and a young man lying on a stretcher.

The IDF and Shin Bet said they targeted a “senior terrorist” in the northern Gaza Strip this evening in response to shots fired toward IDF troops by Hamas operatives earlier.

Palestinian outlets identify the targeted home as belonging to a family, but do not indicate who the target may have been. According to the reports, the home is on Tuffah’s Jaffa Road, which lies on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line.
