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.
On Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City's Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood resulted in the deaths of five individuals, according to Gaza's civil defence agency and a local hospital. The airstrike targeted a minibus carrying civilians, resulting in the destruction of the vehicle and severe injuries to 20 people, including women and children.
The victims suffered after the bus was struck by two missiles fired by Israeli drones. Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital confirmed the arrival of five bodies and several wounded individuals following the airstrike. The conflict in Gaza, which began in October 2023 with a Hamas attack on Israel, has left most of the territory in ruins and caused over 74,000 casualties, as reported by Gaza's health ministry.
Israeli forces have also suffered casualties during the same period, with five soldiers and one civilian contractor killed.
