Five Palestinians, including two children, were killed and several others wounded in Israeli air strikes on tents for displaced people west of Khan Younis in Gaza, medics confirmed at the Kuwait Field Hospital. The strikes hit Gaza's coastal al-Mawasi area. The dead include two women aged 46 and 30, a 36-year-old man, and two boys aged eight and ten. Thirty-two injured people were treated in hospital. Rescue workers recovered the bodies from al-Najaat camp, a cluster of tents housing hundreds of displaced people. Witnesses said the first strike hit a tent in al-Mawasi followed by blasts near the Kuwait hospital, causing panic among nearby families. The Israeli military said it struck a "Hamas terrorist" after five soldiers were wounded earlier on Wednesday. They claimed, "The Hamas terrorist organization carried out a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, during which terrorists attacked IDF troops deployed in the Rafah area." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "respond accordingly." Hamas condemned the air strike as "barbaric, indiscriminate and a violation of the ceasefire" that began on 10 October. The Israeli offensive in Gaza followed a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October, which killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. Since then, over 70,100 Palestinians have died in the conflict, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.
