Gaza hospitals say four Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks

Four Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, hospitals in the coastal territory said on Sunday.

According to al-Awda hospital, three of them died in the shelling of a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

A fourth Palestinian was killed in an attack in the Jabaliya refugee camp, the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza said. An Israeli military spokesman said they were investigating the reports.

According to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, 24 people were killed in the Mediterranean coastal strip within a day.

More than 41,200 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war, the ministry says. The number does not distinguish between militants and civilians and is difficult to verify.

Israel has come under severe international criticism due to the high number of civilian casualties, the catastrophic health situation in the Gaza Strip and the heavy destruction of the territory.

The Israeli army said on Saturday that during operations and fighting with militant Palestinians in Rafah in southern Gaza in the last few days, more than 100 terrorists had been killed, while rocket launchers, weapons caches and terrorist infrastructure had been found and destroyed.

The claims could not be independently verified.
