GAZA, Monday, May 17, 2021 (WAFA) – A Palestinian child and an elderly man were killed today evening in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential building in central Gaza, said sources.

Israeli warplanes targeted with at least one missile a residential building located near al-Rimal clinic in al-Wehda Street, that runs through central Gaza city, killing a child and an elderly and injuring more than a dozen people.

Palestinians in the area say they were given no warning prior to the attack.
