An airstrike on a house in Gaza City near al-Jalaa Street left three dead, including two children. In the southern Gaza Strip, one person died in a drone attack on the Khirbet al-Adas area near Rafah, while residential buildings in Rafah’s Saudi neighborhood were destroyed by Israeli forces.
Elsewhere, an attack on a group of displaced people in northern Gaza killed two and injured others, Al Jazeera reported. Ambulances were unable to reach the area due to ongoing bombardment.
