At least five people killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza

DUBAI, October 30. /TASS/. At least two people have been killed as a result of an overnight Israeli airstrike on the city of Deir al-Balah in the central part of the Gaza Strip, the Qatari television channel said Al Jazeera reported.

Several other people were injured, according to the report. The target was a location used by internally displaced persons.

A residential building in the eastern part of the town of Khan Yunis, in the south of the Palestinian enclave, was also bombed. Three people were killed.

The situation in the Middle East has deteriorated sharply after militants from the radical Palestinian movement Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year, killing residents of border settlements and taking hostages. In response, Israel launched an operation in the Gaza Strip aimed at destroying Hamas’s military and political structures and freeing all abductees. There have also been clashes in the West Bank.
