DUBAI, December 10. /TASS/. At least four Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reported.

According to its information, at least four Palestinian citizens were killed as a result of an Israeli air force strike on residential houses in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp located in the central region of the Gaza Strip. There are also reports of wounded as a result of the shelling.

Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7 when militants from the Gaza Strip-based radical Palestinian movement Hamas staged a surprise attack on Israeli territory from Gaza, killing residents of Israeli border settlements and taking over 200 hostages, including women, children and the elderly. Hamas described its attack as a response to the aggressive actions of Israeli authorities against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. In response, Israel declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million Palestinians, and has been delivering air strikes on Gaza as well as some parts of Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are also underway in the West Bank.
