Heavy Israeli bombardment killed four people in Gaza City on Tuesday, Palestinian health officials said, in what both sides described as an Israeli-backed ground operation to seize a senior Hamas figure.
Eyewitnesses reported around a dozen strikes on Tuesday morning in western Gaza City, where the territory’s civil defence agency said four people were killed: three children and a woman.
Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital confirmed the toll given by the civil defence, which operates as a rescue force under Hamas.
