Nasser Hospital received the five bodies from the Khan Younis area, while Shifa Hospital reported three deaths in Gaza City, Associated Press reports. Reuters says the Interior Ministry described the five Khan Younis victims as police officers.
Israel's military says it targeted several militants in Khan Younis. That explanation does not verify every victim's identity. The casualty figures and characterisations remain attributed to their sources; they concern these two attacks and are not a comprehensive daily total.
