A volunteer medic was killed Wednesday in Israeli attacks targeting several areas across the Gaza Strip, a medical source said, Anadolu reports.

The medic was working with the Palestinian Civil Defense.

He was killed in an airstrike while he was heading to help wounded people near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, the source told Anadolu.

Several other Palestinians were injured in the attacks, while a teenager succumbed to his wounds on Wednesday.

According to another medical source, two Palestinians were injured in an Israeli drone strike near Abu Hussein School in Jabalia, northern Gaza.

In southern Gaza, a Palestinian teenager died from a gunshot wound to the head sustained last month when Israeli forces opened fire east of Khan Younis, according to a medical source.

In Khan Younis, the Israeli army carried out two demolitions in the northeastern and eastern parts of the city, amid intense gunfire to the east.

The Israeli army also carried out demolitions east of Gaza City’s Tuffah neighborhood and east of Gaza City.
