An Israeli drone strike in the central Gaza Strip killed at least six Palestinians on [date not specified], according to local paramedics. The attack occurred during a busy period near the municipality and a city park crowded with people, including children. The strike also left several others wounded, though the exact number of casualties was not immediately confirmed.
In a separate incident a few hours earlier, another Israeli attack targeted a motorcycle in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing one person, according to reports. The identities of the victims have not been released, and no further details were provided.
The latest deaths come amid the ongoing Israeli military campaign in Gaza, which has been described by international observers as genocidal. According to official figures, more than 73,400 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, when the current conflict began. The death toll includes a significant number of women and children, and the humanitarian situation in the enclave remains dire.
The Israeli military has not commented on the specific incidents, and the reports could not be independently verified due to restricted access to the area. The attacks highlight the continued violence in the region despite international calls for a ceasefire and efforts to negotiate a truce.
According to Mehr News Agency, the drone strike and the motorcycle attack are part of the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza. The report added that the casualty figures are expected to rise as rescue operations continue.
