Israeli air raids today have mainly been concentrated in central Gaza. Drones and sky predators are often used to carry out these attacks. Most concerning, they often happen with no prior warning … hitting residential homes unpredictably, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports.

Within the last couple of hours, a car on a main road between Az-Zawayda and Deir el-Balah was targeted, Mahmoud says. Three people were killed on the spot and some of those passing by were critically injured. They were transferred to Al-Aqsa Hospital.

In earlier hours, the Israeli military conducted a sudden ground incursion into an area in southeastern Khan Younis, causing mayhem and panic for an already traumatised population there, he adds.

Mahmoud also reports that overnight, a journalist, his sister and a neighbour next to a residential home that was attacked were killed.
