Palestinian sources in Gaza circulated footage on Thursday afternoon of the aftermath of an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in western Gaza City, reporting three killed. The strike, which occurred earlier in the day, was first reported around 15:27 Jerusalem time. The IDF has not commented.
New footage circulated Thursday afternoon by Palestinian sources in Gaza shows the aftermath of an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in western Gaza City, with at least three angles depicting the burned-out vehicle and emergency response at the scene. The strike, which killed three people, was first reported by Palestinian sources around 14:28 Jerusalem time (Thursday), with initial reports describing a hit on a vehicle near the Abu Khadra mosque in the Rimal neighborhood. The IDF has not commented on the incident.
As The Zioneer reported from 14:28, the incident was first noted as an unspecified strike with casualties, then specified as a vehicle strike west of Gaza City, and within minutes localized to the Abu Khadra mosque area. By 15:27 Jerusalem, additional reporting confirmed the location and the three fatalities. The target's identity remains unconfirmed; no militant group has claimed the casualties as its members.
The strike appears to be a separate event from other Israeli strikes reported across the Gaza Strip earlier this week, including an incident late Monday in which four people were reported killed in a drone strike on a jeep in western Gaza City, as The Zioneer reported at 02:56 Jerusalem on June 8.
What remains open: The IDF has not issued a statement on the incident, and the identities of those killed have not been confirmed by independent sources.
