Israeli strikes in Gaza City killed three rescuers and a journalist. The incident highlights the ongoing conflict and significant civilian casualties.
CAIRO (Reuters) -Israel killed three medical services staff and a journalist during strikes on Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City, Palestinian media including Hamas-linked Shehab news agency said on Monday.
The three rescuers were killed while working to save wounded people and recover dead bodies in the neighborhood, Shehab said.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It said earlier that its forces continued to operate against what it deemed "terrorist organizations" throughout the Gaza strip.
Hamas-led militants took 251 hostages and killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, in an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
In response, Israel's offensive has since killed more than 54,927 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to health authorities in Gaza, and flattened much of the heavily built-up coastal territory.
