Israeli strikes kill three people in Gaza, local medics say

Israeli airstrikes reportedly killed at least three Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to local medics.

One strike near Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza killed Basir Al-Bursh, the son of Hamas-linked health ministry head Munir Al-Bursh, medics and family members said.

The IDF said it had struck several Hamas terrorists on Saturday, including Basir Al-Bursh, without giving further information. 

In video obtained by Reuters, Al-Bursh was seen carrying his son’s body, wrapped in a blanket, with other mourners as it was rushed to hospital by ambulance.

Elsewhere, a strike reportedly killed a man in Shejaia, east of Gaza City, while another hit a vehicle in the Sheik Radwan district of Gaza City, killing one person, Hamas and medics said, taking Saturday’s death toll to at least three.

The IDF said the Sheik Radwan strike targeted a Hamas terrorist. The blast reportedly reduced the vehicle to a mangled wreck.
