Overnight attacks by Israeli forces left one person dead and several injured after armed drones attacked civilians in the town of az-Zawayda in central Gaza, the Wafa news agency reports.

Drones also attacked civilians in the Zeitoun area of Gaza City, while Israel’s bombing of Rafah city’s eastern area of Kafr al-Mashrou killed one person and left several injured.

Several people were also reported killed and wounded in air strikes on houses in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, and a house was bombed east of Khan Younis with an unknown number of casualties, Wafa also reports.

Those attacks followed after Israeli missiles were reported to have killed at least 17 people and injured 80 sheltering at the UN-affiliated Abu Oreiban school sheltering displaced people in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
