At least 26 people, including more aid seekers, have been killed in the latest Israeli attacks on Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Among those killed during Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave, 11 were aid recipients at distribution centres run by the United States-and-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Meanwhile, Wafa news agency reports that at least three people were killed and several others wounded by an Israeli drone strike that targeted displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, southern Gaza.

The report said that the attack targeted a tent sheltering displaced members of the Shurrab family. The tent was located in an area the Israeli military had previously designated as a “safe zone”.
