At least five Palestinians have been killed in ongoing Israeli air attacks across the Gaza Strip, according to medics quoted by the Wafa news agency.

Earlier, four people were killed and 30 wounded when Israeli fighter jets hit tents sheltering displaced families in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

The fifth person died from injuries sustained in an earlier air raid on Khan Younis, Wafa reported.

Israeli artillery shelling was also reported in eastern areas of central Gaza, including the Maghazi refugee camp. There were no immediate reports of casualties from those attacks.
