An Israeli airstrike killed at least six Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, health officials said, a day after US President Donald Trump’s envoy Jared Kushner ended an inconclusive trip to the region over a stalled US plan to end the war in Gaza.
Medics said 14 others were wounded when the Israeli plane fired two missiles at a small cafe inside the fishing harbour in western Gaza City. The seaport has turned into a large displacement camp for Palestinian families during the war that began in October 2023.
Footage on social media showed Palestinians tending to those wounded at the cafe and nearby tents, as blood stained the ground. Some of the casualties were loaded into private vehicles and transported to hospital.
The Israeli military said the strike targeted armed Hamas commanders, who it said had planned to carry out attacks against forces operating in the enclave. –Agencies
