Gaza, MINA – Five civilians were killed and several others injured today on Saturday as Israeli occupation forces targeted residential areas in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, according to local and medical sources.
As reported by Wafa, paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent retrieved five bodies, including two children, who perished after an Israeli warplane bombed a house belonging to the al-Ra’i family in Deir al-Balah. The casualties were rushed to the Al-Aqsa Hospital.
Simultaneously, explosions were heard near the Shuhada Junction south of Gaza City, coinciding with artillery fire from Israeli forces targeting the Zaytoun neighborhood southeast of the city.
