Israeli airstrike ‘kills two Palestinians’

An Israeli airstrike in Gaza has killed two Palestinians, security officials have said.

The airstrike hit a base of Hamas’s military wing in Nusseirat in the central Gaza Strip.

Security officials of the territory’s Palestinian Islamist rulers said two people had died in the strike.

It comes amid protests across Palestinian territories after President Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Two Palestinians were shot dead by the Israeli army in the clashes earlier on Saturday morning.

They were named as Abdullah al-Atal, 28 and Mohammed al-Safdi, 30, by the Hamas health ministry.

The ministry said the bodies of the two men were recovered several hours after the pre-dawn strike.
