Israeli airstrikes killed at least five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, health officials said. Medics reported that an Israeli missile hit a tent for displaced people in the Mawasi area in Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave, killing at least four people, including a 10-year-old child. Another attack killed one person near a school in Gaza City. Twelve people were wounded in the two incidents.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on either incident. Israel has repeatedly carried out strikes in Gaza since a U.S.-mediated ceasefire with Hamas was reached last October, saying it is targeting militants who threaten its forces or who took part in the October 2023 attack on Israel.
Hamas has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. Since the ceasefire took effect nine months ago, more than 1,070 Palestinians, many of them civilians, and four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza, according to figures released by the two sides.
