4 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks
GAZA CITY: Israeli military attacks killed at least four Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, health officials in the enclave said.
Medics said an airstrike carried out by Israel’s forces killed one person near the central village of Al-Mughraqa, while Israeli gunfire and tank shelling killed two others near Gaza City.
In another incident, Israeli forces shot and killed a 40-year-old woman in Khan Yunis, in the south of the territory, health officials said. The Israeli military said it was unaware of any attack by its troops in that area at the time of the reported incident on Sunday.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the other reported strikes. Separately, it said it had struck and killed several Hamas militants in Gaza since Friday.
Despite an October ceasefire, Gaza remains gripped by daily violence as Israeli strikes continue and both the Israeli military and Hamas accuse each other of breaking the truce.
“Three martyrs and several others were injured following attacks by occupation forces in Gaza City and Khan Yunis,” said the agency, which operates as a rescue service under Hamas.
Two men were killed when an Israeli drone fired a missile that “struck a group of civilians” near the Kuwait roundabout in the Zeitun neighbourhood of Gaza City, the territory’s largest urban centre, the agency reported. Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital confirmed it had received the bodies.
