Israeli fire k!lled at least 11 Palestinians, including children and journalists, in separate incidents across Gaza on Wednesday, according to local medics, further undermining a three-month-old ceasefire in the war-ravaged enclave.
Palestinian health officials said an Israeli airstrike killed three Palestinian journalists who were travelling in a car on assignment to film a displaced persons camp in central Gaza. In another incident, three people, including a 10-year-old boy, were killed by Israeli tank shelling in the same area. Medics also reported that two others, including a 13-year-old boy, were killed in separate Israeli shooting incidents in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Additional Israeli attacks across the territory brought the day’s death toll to at least 11, the Gaza health ministry said.
Responding to the incident involving the journalists, Israel’s military said its troops identified “several suspects who operated a drone affiliated with Hamas” in central Gaza and carried out a targeted strike, citing a threat to its forces. The military did not immediately comment on the other reported incidents.
