Israeli forces kill four in Gaza

Israeli forces have killed at least four Palestinians in attacks across Gaza, while a fifth person died of wounds sustained in an earlier assault, according to medical sources and media reports.

At least two people were killed in a gun attack and an air raid on southern Khan Younis on Monday, while a third was killed in a drone attack on the central al-Musaddar village, medical sources said.

The fourth person died in a strike on a vehicle in northern Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood, according to the Wafa news agency. It identified the victim as Hani Hamed Kahil and said five others were wounded in the attack.

The Israeli military said it targeted Palestinian fighters in three strikes, but provided no further details.

Wafa reported that a fifth person, Youssef Abu Younis, also died of injuries sustained in an Israeli attack on a police post in al-Mawasi on Sunday. His death brought the number of deaths reported on Monday to five.
