Five people, including two children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza strip, medics told Reuters on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry said there was ongoing intense and heavy bombing of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, which it said was occurring in an “unprecedented manner” and without prior warning.

The hospital is one of only three barely operational medical facilities on the northern edge of the enclave, where the Israeli army has been operating since October.

“The bombing is being conducted with explosives and tank fire, directly targeting us while we are present inside the hospital departments,” the Ministry said.
