Five Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip.

It is understood a missile struck a group of people gathered in Abbassan, near Khan Yunis.

A 13-year-old boy and another civilian were killed instantly along with what the Israeli military described as two suspected militants.

A fifth person died later in hospital.

Another five people were wounded during the Israeli army incursion, which was targeting facilities used by Palestinian militants.
