GAZA CITY: Gaza’s civil defense agency told AFP on Wednesday that an Israeli strike on the Palestinian territory killed five people including two children.
The Israeli military said it had struck a “Hamas terrorist” in southern Gaza in response to a clash with Palestinian militants in the area that wounded five soldiers.
“Five citizens, including two children, killed and others injured, some seriously, as a result of an Israeli missile strike” in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis, civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.
The agency said the strike hit near the Kuwaiti Field Hospital in Khan Yunis and “targeted” a shelter camp.
The hospital also reported that five people, including two children aged eight and 10, were killed and another 32 were wounded.
