Seven Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza

At least seven people have been killed in new Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip early on Sunday, the Palestinian WAFA news agency reported.

Several others sustained injuries in the airstrikes on the central and southern parts of the coastal strip, according to the report.

Among the dead were two children who were struck in a “humanitarian zone” in the south of the Gaza Strip, it wrote.

The Israeli military announced on Saturday that the air force had targeted a rocket launch site in an area declared a humanitarian zone. After the attack, rockets had been launched from the targeted site but these did not hit Israeli territory, it said.

The Israeli military said that it is taking action in the Gaza Strip against the Palestinian militant Hamas organization, and contends that Israeli forces are taking measures to minimize the risk to civilians, such as the use of precision weapons and aerial surveillance.
