STORYLINE:
Mourners gathered at a hospital in central Gaza on Sunday following the deaths of at least five people in attacks by Israel earlier in the day.

Four men aged in their 20s were among those killed when an Israeli tank shell struck them at a property to the east of Deir al-Balah.

The group included two brothers and two of their friends.

Following the attack, mourners were seen grieving and performing funeral prayers over the bodies of the men at the Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah.

The hospital also received the body of a boy who was killed in a similar attack in the area.

The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities, displaced the vast majority of the territory’s 2.3 million residents and led experts to warn of famine and the outbreak of diseases such as polio.

Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the Oct. 7 attack that sparked the war in southern Israel and abducted around 250.

Of those, some 110 are still believed to be in Gaza, though Israeli authorities say around a third are dead.

More than 100 hostages were released in November during a weeklong cease-fire.
