GAZA: Five civilians, including a child, were killed late last night in a series of Israeli airstrikes and shelling in northern and southern Gaza, according to local reports. In Khan Younis province, south of the enclave, Israeli aircraft targeted a house belonging to the Abu Daqqa family in the town of Abasan al-Kabira. The attack resulted in the murder of three individuals and injuries to others, who were transported to Nasser Hospital in the city. In a separate attack, two more people, including a child, were killed when Israeli forces struck a residential apartment near the al-Houja junction in the Jabalia refugee camp, located in northern Gaza. Additionally, paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent transported injuries to Al-Awda Hospital in the Nusairat camp following an Israeli strike on a house belonging to the Al-Qassas family in the northeast of the camp. Another seven individuals with serious injuries were taken to Nasser Hospital after an Israeli airstrike hit a house in the village of al- Fukhari, east of Khan Younis.
