Five Palestinians killed in Israeli attack on water desalination plant

At least five Palestinians, including one woman, have been killed in an Israeli missile attack on a water desalination plant in al-Rimal neigbourhood in northern Gaza, Wafa news agency is reporting.

Gaza is facing severe water shortages due to months of Israeli attacks targeting water infrastructure. The Gaza government press office has said the attacks are aimed at "turning water into a tool of genocide and a weapon of slow killing".

Wafa is also reporting, citing medical sources, that two Palestinians have been killed in a targeted attack on a vehicle in al-Baraka, south of Gaza City.
