Later, an elderly man and a child were killed when an apartment west of Gaza City was struck. Another attack in the southern Gaza Strip resulted in the death of three people, including a child, and damaged a hospital's medical supplies. The latest strike, targeting an apartment in Al-Sousi Tower west of Gaza City, claimed the lives of three Palestinians, including a child.
