At least eight Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike targeting an aid vehicle in the central Gaza Strip, according to a medical source, Anadolu Agency reports.

The fatalities occurred when an Israeli drone hit a vehicle securing humanitarian aid near al-Matahin intersection southeast of Deir al-Balah, the source told Anadolu.

There was no comment from the Israeli military on the attack.

Separately, two Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling of a group of civilians near Kuwait Roundabout in Gaza City, another medical source said.

Additionally, Israeli warplanes targeted the al-Ridwan Mosque in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza City with at least two missiles, according to witnesses. The mosque had already been destroyed at the start of the Israeli offensive.
