An Israeli air strike hit Gaza City, with the civil defence agency reporting four men killed and the military saying it had targeted “terrorists” posing a threat to troops, AFP reports.

Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the Gaza Strip’s civil defence agency, told AFP that the Israeli strike “on a group of citizens in the Netzarim area in south Gaza City” resulted in “four martyrs including two brothers”, all men in their 20s.

The Israeli military said that its air forces had struck “several terrorists engaged in suspicious activity posing a threat to IDF troops”.
