Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least seven Palestinians, including a child, in the Gaza Strip yesterday, the territory’s health officials said.
Medics said an Israeli air strike killed a man and wounded two children in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The Israeli military told Reuters they had targeted a Hamas member.
Another Israeli air strike hit near a tent encampment housing displaced families in western Gaza City, killing one person and wounding five others, medics said, while a third air strike in Khan Younis killed one person and wounded three others. The Israeli military said both of those strikes had also targeted opponents.
The Popular Resistance Committees said one of the two Israeli strikes in Khan Younis had killed a senior leader of the group, Waheed Abu Salem. Yesterday, one Palestinian was killed and nine others were wounded by Israeli gunfire in Rafah. Meanwhile, in Gaza City’s Tel Al-Hawa, an Israeli air strike hit a vehicle, killing three people, including a child.
