Israeli strikes on separate locations in the Gaza Strip killed seven Palestinians on Tuesday, according to the Strip's civil defence rescue service and several hospitals.

Two men were killed in Israeli strikes in the town of al-Zawaida and the Wadi Gaza area in the central Gaza Strip, according to Mahmoud Bassal, spokesperson for the civil defence, a rescue force operating under Hamas authority, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Hospital.

An Israeli strike in the Jabalia al-Balad area in northern Gaza killed one person, according to Bassal and al-Shifa Hospital, which reported it had received another victim of a strike in the Zeitoun neighbourhood southeast of Gaza City.

In another Israeli strike, a man and a woman, identified by al-Shifa Hospital as Akram Yassin and his wife, were killed and several others injured in a residential block near the hospital in the al-Rimal neighbourhood, west of Gaza City.
