At least three Palestinians were killed and more wounded after the Israeli military bombed an area of the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City in the northern part of the enclave, Al Jazeera reports.

Israeli forces are also claiming more casualties as they advance in southern Gaza and complete the so-called Morag Corridor to separate Rafah from Khan Younis.

Several people were wounded in Israeli air strikes on the Mawasi area of Khan Younis, while two more sustained injuries from Israeli bullets in Rafah.
