At least four Palestinians were killed today in an Israeli air strike that targeted a gathering in northwestern Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.
“Four martyrs arrived [at the hospital] as a result of an Israeli air strike on a gathering of people in Rafah city,” a medical source at the Nasser Hospital said.
Witnesses said the strike targeted the Shakoush neighbourhood, which is home to thousands of displaced people.
Israel has killed more than 40,100 Palestinians in the besieged enclave and displaced nearly the entire population of 2.3 million people, while also generating famine-like conditions and spread of disease.
It is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
