IDF says Oct. 7 invader killed in Gaza; strikes across Strip reportedly leave 5 dead

Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip have reportedly killed at least five people, including a 10-year-old girl and the son of a top government official. According to Gaza's health ministry, the child succumbed to wounds sustained from Israeli army fire north of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.

The son of Munir al-Barsh, the director-general of Gaza's health ministry, was also killed in an airstrike in an encampment for displaced people in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, the ministry said. Munir Al-Bursh described the killing as "a continuation of crimes."

The Israeli military said it had struck several Hamas terrorists, including Mohammed Suleiman Byouk, who was killed in Gaza while planting bombs and rebuilding Hamas capabilities, and Basir Al-Bursh, without giving further information. Two separate strikes near Gaza City also resulted in two deaths and several injuries, according to Gaza's al-Shifa hospital and the territory's civil defence.
