Israeli strike kills 5 in Gaza City
20 others were also injured after the strike hit a passenger bus in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood.
Gaza City witnessed another deadly Israeli airstrike on Wednesday, which struck a minibus near Tel al-Hawa, according to Gaza's civil defense agency and a local hospital. The attack resulted in the death of five civilians, including children and women, with 20 others wounded. The minibus was reportedly transporting civilians between Gaza City and central and southern parts of the Palestinian territory when it was hit by two missiles fired by Israeli drones.
These missiles caused the bus to be completely destroyed. The Gaza health ministry, under Hamas authority, reported that Israeli forces have killed over 1,400 people since a ceasefire was announced last October. The Israeli military has confirmed five of their own soldiers' deaths and one civilian contractor's death during the same period.
