Several Palestinian civilians have been killed and wounded during Israeli air strikes targeting residential areas in Gaza's Khan Younis and Beit Lahia, Wafa news agency reported on Saturday.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that there was intense shelling of the PRCS-run al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis.
"Shrapnel from the shelling scatters on the building, accompanied by heavy gunfire from drones," it said on social media platform X.
PRCS added later that a displaced Palestinian was wounded in the chest after being shot by a sniper bullet outside the hospital.
