A Palestinian journalist was among those killed in Israeli air strikes in Gaza City overnight, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports.

Yusef Abu Hussein, a journalist at Hamas’s radio station Al-Aqsa Voice, died when warplanes bombed a house near the Sheikh Radwan cemetery in northern Gaza City, Wafa says.

Three other people were killed in a strike on a house in the western al-Rimal district, it adds.

Local sources earlier told the BBC’s Rushdi Abualouf in Gaza that two militants were killed when warplanes targeted an apartment in Gaza City.

Doctors also told him that a woman suffered a heart attack and died when a neighbour’s home in Khan Younis was hit during a wave of air strikes in the southern city.

Wafa's report says the strikes targeted the al-Katibah area of Khan Younis, as well the nearby town of Bani Suheila and a site west of the city of Rafah, which is on the border with Egypt.

The Israeli military says it bombed part of a Hamas tunnel network in the area.

Gaza’s health ministry says 219 people, including 63 children, have been killed there since the hostilities began on 10 May. The Israeli military says it has killed more than 160 militants.
