At least five Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, according to reports from Al Jazeera. The strikes targeted a house in central Deir el-Balah, killing two people and wounding several others, and an apartment in northern Gaza City, killing three people and wounding several more.
The incident occurred amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Palestinian factions. The report also mentioned that Mohammed Dahlan, a former senior Fatah official based in the United Arab Emirates, claimed that Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former US President Donald Trump, had told him he was working with the Israeli regime to stop the attacks on Gaza.
No further details were provided about the victims or the exact locations of the strikes. The Israeli military has not yet commented on the reported attacks.
The Gaza Strip has been under Israeli blockade and frequent military operations, leading to widespread casualties and destruction. The international community has repeatedly called for restraint and a ceasefire, but violence has continued.
According to Mehr News Agency, which cited Al Jazeera, the strikes occurred as part of ongoing Israeli operations in the region. The report did not specify the date of the strikes but indicated they were recent.
