Five Palestinians were killed and others injured in Israeli strikes on several areas across the Gaza Strip, including Khan Younis, Deir al-Balah, and the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza City.

Medical sources said three people were killed when a food distribution kitchen near Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital was targeted.

Israeli forces also expanded their control east of Khan Younis by moving the so-called “yellow line” westward.

Hamas described the bombing of food distribution centers as a “deliberate war crime” within what it called the ongoing policy of genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
