Dr Marwan Sultan and his loved ones died on Wednesday in their apartment in the southwestern Tal al-Hawa area, according to the Hamas-run civil defence agency.

The Israeli military said it had struck a "key terrorist" from Hamas in the Gaza City area and that claims "uninvolved civilians" were harmed as a result of the strike were being reviewed.

Meanwhile, at least five people were killed and others injured, including children, in a strike on the al-Mawasi "safe zone", one of several other attacks reported by news agencies.

Ahmed Al-Sultan, a relative of Dr Sultan's, told BBC Arabic that they heard an explosion during Wednesday's strike and went up to the apartment.
