The Israeli military said it killed a Palestinian it accused of being involved in the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 during a vehicle strike in the Gaza Strip, and is investigating allegations that this person was an employee of the humanitarian group World Central Kitchen.
At least 25 Palestinians were killed in Israeli military strikes on Gaza overnight and on Saturday, with most casualties reported in northern areas, doctors told Reuters.
Among those killed, at least seven died in an Israeli strike on a house in central Gaza City, according to a statement from the Gaza Civil Defense and the official Palestinian news agency WAFA on Saturday morning.
Gaza Civil Defense also reported that one of its officers was killed in attacks in Jabalia, northern Gaza, bringing the total number of civil defense workers killed since October 7, 2023 to 88.
Earlier on Saturday, WAFA reported that three employees of World Central Kitchen, a US-based non-governmental humanitarian agency, were killed when a civilian vehicle was targeted in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
World Central Kitchen has not yet commented on the incident.
