Israeli strike kills five in Deir al-Balah as Gaza death toll hits 52

At least five Palestinians have been killed and several others wounded in an Israeli air strike that targeted a commercial shop in central Gaza on Saturday evening, according Wafa.

The attack, carried out by an Israeli drone, struck a store owned by the Abu Amra family in the Al-Hakr district of Deir al-Balah. The victims were civilians, according to Wafa news agency, which said its correspondents had confirmed the attack on the ground.

The latest strike adds to the rising toll of Palestinian lives taken by Israel's ongoing assault. Since dawn on Saturday, 52 people have been confirmed killed in the enclave.
