The airstrike caused the death of six Palestinians, whose bodies were brought to Nasser Hospital, and left four others with varying injuries, medical sources told Anadolu.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that an Israeli drone strike targeted a group of civilians in the "Bir 19" area in al-Mawasi early Sunday.
