At least four citizens were killed and others injured in Israeli shelling of the central and southern Gaza Strip, Wafa reports.

Medical sources at Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, central Gaza, reported that they received two slain civilians and 35 injuries as a result of Israeli forces targeting gatherings of citizens waiting for aid on Salah al-Din Street, south of Wadi Gaza.

They added that 16 seriously injured people were shot and transferred to hospitals in the central Gaza Strip.

A citizen was killed when an Israeli helicopter bombed a house in Deir al-Balah refugee camp.

Wafa’s local sources reported that Israeli drones targeted tents for displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding a number of citizens.
