Palestinian civil defence worker reported killed by Israeli forces in Gaza

A Palestinian civil defence member was killed by Israeli forces while attempting to evacuate wounded individuals in Jabalia, according to Gaza's Ambulance and Emergency Services. Separate reports also state an Israeli air strike killed a rescue volunteer in northern Gaza amid strikes that killed at least four Palestinians. It remains unconfirmed by independent observers whether these reports describe the same incident or separate casualties.
