Israel kills five more Palestinians, including 9-year-old Tala, in Gaza

Five Palestinians, including a child, have been killed by Israeli attacks, amid continued violations of a ceasefire in effect since last October, medics said.

Medics on Sunday said Israeli gunfire directed at a tent encampment on the eastern side of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza killed 9-year-old Tala Abu Mata.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a workshop in the Sabra district, south of Gaza City.

The bodies of the victims were torn to pieces in the attack that also injured a third Palestinian, the organisation added in a statement.

Witnesses said an Israeli drone fired at least three missiles at a building housing the workshop in the Al-Rayes neighbourhood in the district.

A Palestinian man also died of wounds he sustained from Israeli fire on Friday east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, the source added.
