Israeli warplanes have bombed two homes in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, causing dozens of casualties, Al Jazeera reports citing Palestinian Wafa news agency.

A drone strike on Salah al-Din Street to the east of the city, meanwhile, killed at least one person and injured others, Wafa reported.

Elsewhere in Gaza City, Israeli artillery shelling struck the neighbourhoods of Shujayea, Sabra, Tal al-Hawa, and Sheikh Ijlin, said Wafa, without providing casualty figures.
