GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories: Israeli airstrikes killed five Palestinians in the center of the Gaza Strip on Friday, two in Deir Al-Balah and three in Nusseirat, the local emergency services said.

One strike in Nusseirat hit a house, killing two men aged 24 and 22, while in Deir Al-Balah it landed in open farmland, Ashraf Al-Qudra said.

A drone strike later targeted a 45-year-old man in Nusseirat who died of his injuries in hospital shortly afterwards, Qudra’s office said.

The identities of those killed in Deir Al-Balah were not immediately clear.

Hostilities in the six-week war between Israel and Hamas resumed on Tuesday as Egyptian-brokered truce talks collapsed.

The Palestinian emergency services say 76 people have died in Gaza since then. Four people in Israel have sustained shrapnel injuries as a result of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel on Friday.

At least 2,092 Palestinians have been killed since July 8.

UNICEF said on Friday that at least 15 Palestinian children had been killed in Gaza in the last 48 hours.
