Four Palestinians were killed on Monday in two Israeli drone strikes targeting vehicles in the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian security and medical sources, reported Xinhua.

Security sources said an Israeli drone fired at least one missile at a civilian vehicle near British Hospital, southwest of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex confirmed that the strike killed three people.

In a separate incident, a drone struck a civilian vehicle on Al-Jalaa Street in central Gaza City, injuring 14 people, including women and children, a source with the ambulance and emergency services told Xinhua.

A medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital later said one of the injured died of wounds.

The Israeli military has not commented on the incidents.
