The official WAFA news agency reported that Israeli air raids targeted the Al-Zahra Towers complex in southern Gaza, which was bombed more than once, as well as other sites near the neighborhoods of Al-Baidar, Sheikh Ajlin and Tal Al-Hawa.
It added that the Israeli army struck the Bureij camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip with artillery.
WAFA said Israeli warplanes also bombed a house in the city of Deir al-Balah in the middle of the Gaza Strip, resulting in injuries.
