Two Palestinians have been killed and several others injured in an Israeli drone strike in northern Gaza, according to Palestinian medical sources.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that the victims were taken to hospital after a strike near Abu Sharkh Junction, west of the Jabaliya refugee camp. Some of the injured were said to be in critical condition.
The Israeli military said it targeted two Hamas militants in a separate account of the incident reported by the Associated Press. The developments underline the continuing insecurity in Gaza despite the ceasefire.
Why it matters to Africa: The conflict remains a major issue in African diplomacy and international relations. African governments and the African Union continue to face questions about humanitarian protection, international law and the continent’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
