Seven people, including a 13-year-old boy, were killed by Israeli fire in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defense agency, in the latest toll reported by The Times of Israel on Tuesday.
The agency said the boy’s father was also among those killed. The figure updates an earlier report published by this desk today, which cited Al Jazeera’s account of six Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks, including a father and son.
The latest toll of seven is attributed to the Hamas-run Civil Defense agency as reported by The Times of Israel. The available reporting does not provide further details about the circumstances of the deaths, including the location of the strike or the identities of the other people killed.
The Times of Israel report also carried a separate warning from UNICEF concerning Gaza’s water infrastructure. The agency said Israel was blocking repairs to a water basin and warned of a risk of flooding amid winter storms.
The reporting provided does not include further details about the basin, the nature of the restrictions on repairs or the specific areas facing flood risk.
The reported death toll and the UNICEF warning concern separate developments in the same report. No further information on either was included in the source material available to this desk.
