Six civilians were killed on Monday afternoon in Israeli shelling south of Gaza City and east of Khan Yunis.

A correspondent with the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported, quoting paramedics, that four bodies were transferred to the Baptist Hospital in the city. The four were killed as a result of the Israeli occupation’s bombing of a group of Palestinians in Al-Abraj Street in the Tal Al-Hawa area, south of Gaza City.

Two young men were also killed when Israeli occupation aircraft targeted a group of Palestinians in the customs police area southeast of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
