Gaza Civil Defense Says Six Killed in Israeli Strikes

Gaza’s civil defense agency said Israeli strikes killed at least six people on Saturday across the Palestinian territory, where Israel has ramped up its military offensive in recent days.

“Our teams have recovered at least six dead,” civil defense agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

He said a couple were killed with their two young children in a pre-dawn strike on a house in the Amal quarter of the southern city of Khan Younis.

Another two people were killed in a strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the center of the territory, he said.

The Israeli military said it was unable to comment on individual strikes without their “precise geographical coordinates”.

Israel resumed operations in Gaza on March 18, ending a two-month ceasefire.
