In Gaza City, an airstrike targeting a vehicle in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood killed five people and wounded 13, according to Al-Shifa Hospital and civil defence officials. Other strikes in Gaza City reportedly killed a woman and a child during the bombing of a residential building, while artillery shelling also claimed a life.
