At least five people were killed in an Israeli drone strike on a security checkpoint in northern Gaza on Saturday, according to local sources. Several others were seriously injured and taken to nearby hospitals. The attack reportedly involved two Israeli drones targeting the post, causing immediate casualties at the scene.

Field sources indicated that the death toll could rise as some of the injured remain in critical condition. Israeli authorities have not issued any immediate comment regarding the incident.

The strike comes amid intensified drone and air attacks across Gaza in recent weeks, which have led to an increase in civilian casualties, according to the report.
