Gaza civil defence reports nine killed in Israeli strikes<\/p>\n
In Gaza City, a drone strike killed seven people and wounded 15 others in the Jawazat camp for displaced people, according to the civil defence, a rescue service that operates under the authority of the Islamist movement Hamas.<\/p>\n
The city’s Al-Shifa Hospital also reported receiving seven bodies.<\/p>\n
“We targeted terrorists in that sector,” the Israeli army told AFP, without providing further details.<\/p>\n
Further south, a 25-year-old man, Muhannad Othman Farwana, was killed in the morning in a strike on a tent, the civil defence said.<\/p>\n
Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis said the man’s body was brought in along with several wounded.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Israeli army said Farwana was “a terrorist cell commander in the military wing” of Hamas, adding he was killed in a precision strike.<\/p>\n
The strike had hit his tent on the roof of his house, just before he was due to get married later in the day, his cousin Mohammed Farwana said.<\/p>\n
“The whole family was ready to celebrate his wedding. Now, we’re attending his funeral instead,” he told AFP.<\/p>\n
The civil defence announced in the evening a ninth person killed in an Israeli strike in southeast Gaza City, identifying him as a 37-year-old man.<\/p>\n
Israel and Hamas accuse each other of near-daily violations of the truce meant to halt the war in Gaza, which was triggered by Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.<\/p>\n
At least 951 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire took effect, according to Gaza’s health ministry, which operates under Hamas authority and whose figures are considered reliable by the UN.<\/p>\n
The Israeli army has reported five deaths within its ranks during the same period.<\/p>\n
Restrictions imposed on media outlets and limited access in Gaza prevent AFP from independently verifying tolls or freely covering the violence there.<\/p>\n
