Israeli police neutralised one suspect but are searching for another; the military has deployed troops to the area and residents have been ordered to shelter indoors.

One strike hit a police post adjacent to a large tent encampment of displaced families in Khan Yunis in the south of the enclave, killing five people and wounding 16 others, medics said.
