“An Israeli airstrike before dawn killed four and wounded several,” it reported.
Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital confirmed the toll, saying the strike was carried out by an Israeli drone.
“Four martyrs and five wounded arrived at the hospital this morning after an Israeli drone fired two missiles at a group of civilians,” the hospital said in a statement.
