Four Palestinians attempting to return home killed by Israeli tank fire
In central Gaza, four people were killed in Israeli tank shelling and their bodies were brought to a local hospital. Family members told The Associated Press news agency they were killed as they tried to move to northern Gaza, where Israel’s military is preventing people from returning to their homes.
Earlier, Palestinian hospital officials said Israeli air strikes on the southern city of Rafah killed at least five people.
The bodies of 43 people killed in Israeli strikes have been brought to local hospitals over the past 24 hours. Hospitals also received 64 wounded people, Gaza’s Health Ministry says.
