Israeli airstrikes kill seven Palestinians in Gaza | Israel-Palestine War News

At least five Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli attack on a refugee camp in Gaza, officials said.

Israeli airstrikes have killed at least seven people in Gaza, Palestinian health officials said, as Israel continues to violate a “ceasefire” during the Muslim holiday. Eid al-Adha.

At least five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on Tuesday, security officials and a hospital said.

“Five martyrs and several wounded were transferred (to hospital) after an Israeli jet fired at a group of civilians east of Maghazi,” the civil protection agency said.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital has confirmed the deaths.

There was no immediate comment from Israel, which launched a deadly war against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023.

Local media reports indicate that the attack targeted Palestinians who came into contact with Israeli-led forces operating east of the camp.

According to reports from Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said the strikes raised questions about Israel’s tactics in Gaza.

He added that, according to media reports and sources, the army allegedly supported by Israel was able to leave the area safely after the strike. Azzoum added that Israel carried out several airstrikes after the attacks, one of which hit his family.

In southern Gaza, at least two people were killed and several others injured in an Israeli attack on a vehicle in the city of Khan Younis, medics said.

Israel has killed more than 900 Palestinians since the United States-Qatar deal”to stop the fire” went into effect in October.

Four Israeli soldiers have also been killed by Palestinian forces since then, according to the Israeli military.

Israel has sanctioned support groups that oppose Hamas in its murderous war in Gaza. Several such groups have operated in parts of Gaza controlled by Hamas in recent months. According to Al Jazeera’s Abu Azzoum, these groups have also been used to intimidate Palestinians and sow instability as part of Israel’s strategy to divide residents of the war-torn region.
