Five reportedly killed in Israeli drone strikes in central, southern Gaza

They were targeted - and when their cousins and others in the area came to rescue them, the drone targeted them with bombs,

said Jabr Abou Hajeer, the father of one of the victims

The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat to the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF troops."

A statement from the IDF outlined

The team was made of civilians and worked in an area near a shelter on a mission sponsored by a charity. They were not in a prohibited area and didn't pose any danger of any kind to the occupation army,

Marouf said in a statement

I did not allow them outside, but today I did. Why did they come out today?”

Umm Mahmoud Alerfan clutched her sons’ bodies and wailed

This isn’t the first time they’ve targeted humanitarian workers and then leveled false accusations,

he said

The attack [on Beit Lahiya] has triggered a huge swathe of condemnation, but it has not been the first one. Here in the southern part of Gaza, we have seen Israeli drones hovering above while in Rafah city we have got confirmation from eyewitnesses that they have been exposed to Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours,

Abu Azzoum said

People right now have been forced to depend on alternative, negative coping mechanisms, including the reduction of the meals they have on a daily basis,

Abu Azzoum reported

Hamas insists that the end of the war must be discussed, not just the particulars of an agreement or a bridging proposal, so there’s still a very big gap,

she added

Families right now are struggling to afford the meal to break their fast during Ramadan, another sign of a crisis that has no end in sight,

he added

Hamas has offered to release one Israeli captive who holds dual citizenship along with the bodies of four captives. Israel has its own proposal while the US envoy Steve Witkoff has proposed something more aligned with Netanyahu’s position – but certainly neither here nor there,

she said

The occupation has committed a horrific massacre in the northern Gaza Strip by targeting a group of journalists and humanitarian workers, in a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement,

Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said in a statement

Later, a number of additional terrorists collected the drone operating equipment and entered a vehicle. The IDF struck the terrorists,

it added

This heinous crime comes in the context of the systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists, who pay with their lives to convey the truth and expose the crimes of the occupation to the world,
