TL;DR

Palestinian sources in Gaza report that Israeli strikes on two locations in Gaza City since late Friday night killed five people. Four were reportedly killed in a strike on an apartment building in southwestern Gaza City overnight, and one was killed in a drone strike in the northern part of the city this morning, according to Abu Ali Express. The IDF has not commented.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Two separate Israeli strikes in Gaza City since late Friday night have killed at least five people, according to a single Palestinian source cited by Abu Ali Express. The first strike, overnight, hit an apartment in the al-Safadi building near the al-Tiran junction in southwestern Gaza City, killing four. The second, a drone strike this morning near al-Saftawi Square in northern Gaza City, killed one. The IDF has not commented on either strike, and the reports remain unverified by Israeli or independent sources.

The new strikes follow a series of Israeli operations in Gaza City and other parts of the Strip this month. As The Zioneer has reported, on June 8 a drone strike on a jeep in western Gaza City killed four, and a broader wave of strikes that day killed seven across the Strip. On June 15, a fresh strike in Gaza City caused casualties, though details were sparse. An earlier drone strike on Al-Mawasi beach on June 17 killed two. The pattern of drone strikes and apartment building attacks continues, but these reports come from a single Palestinian source, lowering confidence.
