Five Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes on central Gaza

GAZA, July 13 (YPA) -Five Palestinian civilians were killed and several others injured today as Israeli occupation forces targeted residential areas in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian sources.

The sources reported that paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent retrieved five bodies, including two children, who perished after an Israeli warplane bombed a house belonging to the al-Ra’i family in Deir al-Balah. The casualties were rushed to the Al-Aqsa Hospital.

Simultaneously, explosions were heard near the Shuhada Junction south of Gaza City, coinciding with artillery fire from Israeli forces targeting the Zaytoun neighborhood southeast of the city.

Further south, Israeli occupation army quadcopters opened fire on civilians near Tel al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City, alongside artillery shelling on the Remal neighborhood west of the city.

Additionally, at least 10 civilians were wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house on Twentieth Street in the Nusseirat refugee camp, central Gaza Strip. Another strike from Israeli warplanes hit the northern area of the camp.

Israeli occupation warplanes also pounded a house near the Tahrir Station at the entrance of Abasan al-Kabira town east of Khan Younis, the southern Gaza Strip.
