At least seven Palestinians have been killed and several others wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Nuseirat camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip, medics tell Reuters.

In Beit Hanoun town in northern Gaza Strip, where the Israeli forces have operated since October, medics said an Israeli airstrike killed and wounded several people. Rescue workers said several people were trapped under the rubble of a house.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the two attacks reported by Palestinian medics.

Israeli forces have been operating in Beit Hanoun, the nearby town of Beit Lahiya and the Jabalia refugee camp since Oct 5, saying they are fighting Hamas gunmen waging attacks from those areas and preventing them from regrouping.
