The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said on Wednesday that five people were killed and 18 others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a residential building in central Gaza City, marking the latest violation of the fragile ceasefire agreement in the besieged enclave.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced on Wednesday that Israeli aircraft struck an apartment in a residential building near al-Israa Tower on Omar al-Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City, killing five Palestinians and wounding 18 others in the latest breach of the fragile truce.

Emergency response

Rescue crews recovered four bodies from the rubble along with 18 injured victims following the strike on the densely populated neighborhood, the aid organization said in a statement. Medical teams transported the wounded to nearby hospitals as search operations continued amid concerns that additional victims remained trapped beneath the debris.

Israeli claims on targets

The Israeli military said it conducted a precision strike targeting two senior Hamas members, claiming the operation occurred in the northern Gaza Strip even as Palestinian authorities reported the attack hit central Gaza City. Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the targets included Hamas' northern Gaza brigade commander and the deputy commander of the Gaza City brigade, citing unnamed security sources without revealing the alleged militants' identities.

Hamas response

Hamas had not issued any statement regarding the Israeli claims as of 2000GMT on Wednesday, according to Palestinian sources in Gaza. The movement's silence comes as the ceasefire agreement has faced mounting pressure from repeated violations, with Wednesday's casualties representing the latest bloodshed since the truce took effect.
