Emergency responders in Gaza said seven people were killed in separate incidents across Gaza City on Wednesday, with six of the fatalities occurring in different locations throughout the densely populated enclave.
The Israeli military confirmed it had conducted targeted operations in the area, stating that its forces had engaged what it described as military operatives belonging to terrorist organisations. The military did not immediately provide additional details about the specific locations or nature of the operations.
The deaths add to the ongoing toll from the conflict in Gaza, where rescue services have been operating under significant strain. Palestinian health authorities have reported mounting casualties in recent weeks as military operations continue across the territory.
The incident underscores the escalating violence affecting civilians and combatants alike in Gaza. International humanitarian organisations have called for greater protections for non-combatants amid the intensifying conflict.
