The Palestinian Civil Defence said rescue teams have recovered the bodies of nine Palestinians after Israeli forces bombed two separate locations in northern Gaza City, Al Jazeera reports.

Five of the victims were killed in an Israeli attack on the Al-Taj building on Yarmouk Street, the Civil Defence said on Telegram. Several others were also wounded in the attack on an apartment belonging to the Al-Naasan family.

The remaining four were killed in an Israeli attack on Jaffa Street in the city’s Tuffah neighbourhood, it said. The victims included children.

“The search is ongoing for missing persons,” it added.

Earlier, the Civil Defence reported retrieving the bodies of three people, including two children, after Israeli forces attacked a residential building in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
