Israeli strikes and gunfire killed four Palestinians in Gaza, aid group says two of them a paramedic and a teenager

· Gaza Strip (Sheikh Radwan, Gaza City; camp east of Jabalia)

Four Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday. Two Palestinians died in a double strike in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of northwestern Gaza City, medical and monitoring groups said. A medical source told Anadolu two people were killed when an Israeli drone struck a gathering of civilians in Sheikh Radwan and a second strike hit those who rushed to help the wounded. Healthcare Workers Watch said the strikes killed a 15-year-old and a 23-year-old Palestinian Civil Defence paramedic identified as Sherif Shadi Lubbad, and that the second strike fell as Lubbad attempted to rescue a wounded person; the group said several others were wounded. Another medical source told Anadolu that a 65-year-old man was killed by Israeli gunfire targeting a camp sheltering displaced people east of Jabalia. The reports give a combined death toll of four. Anadolu is the source for the account of two killed in Sheikh Radwan and for the 65-year-old killed east of Jabalia; Healthcare Workers Watch is the source for the identification of the two Sheikh Radwan victims as a 15-year-old and Sherif Shadi Lubbad and for the claim a secondary strike struck rescuers. No precise total wounded figure is given in the sources.
