Israeli strike in central Gaza kills three Palestinians, including a child

At least three Palestinians, including a child, have been killed in an Israeli drone strike on a group of civilians in central Gaza on Monday.

The strike on al-Baraka Street in Deir el-Balah also injured several Palestinians, who are being treated at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

An Israeli military source confirmed the attack.

At least 1,041 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October last year, according to the Gaza health ministry.
