Four people have been killed and others wounded in an Israeli attack on the Hamid Junction, west of Gaza City, as they attempted to escape Tel Aviv’s onslaught, Al Jazeera reports.

Israeli forces, which control Gaza City’s eastern suburbs, have in recent days been pounding the Sheikh Radwan and Tal al-Hawa areas from where they would be positioned to advance on central and western parts of the city, where most of the population is sheltering.
