At least two people killed in air attack near Gaza City
At least two people have been killed and others injured after an Israeli air raid targeting humanitarian aid workers northwest of Gaza City.
Citing medical sources, Wafa news agency reported that the attack resulted in casualties among aid crews and their companions, despite Israel’s announcement of “humanitarian pauses” in fighting attacks, which have continued.
Since dawn, at least 69 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across the enclave, including 37 aid seekers.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has shared its condolences with the family, colleagues and friends of staff member Omar Mansour Isleem, who, as we reported earlier, was killed in an overnight attack on Khan Younis, which also wounded two others.
In a post on X, the ICRC said Isleem and his colleagues were on duty in a “clearly marked Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) building”.
“It is unacceptable that first responders in Gaza – like Omar and staff and volunteers of the PRCS – go to work every day fearing they may not return to their families,” the organisation said.
“It is an outrage that so many staff and volunteers of the PRCS and other first responders have been killed and injured in the last 21 months of the conflict,” the ICRC said, adding that humanitarian personnel “must never be attacked”.
