Israeli forces have killed at least four Palestinians in attacks across Gaza, while a fifth person died of wounds sustained in an earlier assault, according to medical sources and media reports.

At least two people were killed in a gun attack and an air raid on southern Khan Younis on Monday, while a third was killed in a drone attack on the central al-Musaddar village, medical sources said.

The fourth person died in a strike on a vehicle in northern Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood, according to the Wafa news agency. It identified the victim as Hani Hamed Kahil and said five others were wounded in the attack.

Wafa reported that a fifth person, Youssef Abu Younis, also died of injuries sustained in an Israeli attack on a police post in al-Mawasi on Sunday. His death brought the number of deaths reported on Monday to five.
