Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least six Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, according to the territory's health officials.
Medical officials said an Israeli airstrike in the Mawasi area of southern Gaza's Khan Younis killed one man and wounded two children. The Israeli military told Reuters the strike targeted a Hamas member.
A separate airstrike near a tent camp sheltering displaced families in western Gaza City killed one person and wounded five others, medics said. Another strike in Khan Younis left one person dead and three others wounded.
The Israeli military said both attacks targeted Hamas members. The Popular Resistance Committees, an armed Palestinian faction that has long carried out attacks against Israel, said one of the strikes in Khan Younis killed one of its senior leaders, Waheed Abu Salem.
Later Tuesday, one Palestinian was killed and nine others were wounded by Israeli gunfire in an area of Rafah in southern Gaza, medics and witnesses said.
