Israeli strikes in Gaza City on Saturday killed at least ten Palestinians, including three children, according to hospital officials in the coastal enclave.

A strike on an apartment in the Nasr neighborhood killed at least five people, two adults and three children between the ages of 8 and 18, said Mohammed Abu Selmiya, director of Shifa Hospital, where the bodies were taken.

The victims were a family of five, according to the territory’s Hamas-linked civil defense agency, which operates as a rescue service. “The family’s only surviving member is one child, who was not inside the house at the time of the strike,” Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the agency, told AFP.

Six other people were wounded, including four children between the ages of 8 and 16, health officials said.

The Israeli military said it targeted Hamas infrastructure and had located Hamas operatives in the area, without elaborating.

Another Israeli strike hit a group of people in the Zeitoun neighborhood, killing four and wounding another critically, health officials said.

The IDF said it targeted a Hamas operative and was looking into the results of the strike.

Health officials reported at least one other death elsewhere in the Strip.
