The Israeli army has not commented on this incident, Xinhua news agency reported.
Also on Thursday, the General Directorate of Civil Defence in Gaza warned of a possible suspension of services and humanitarian interventions it provides to displaced citizens residing in what was designated by the Israeli army as a "humanitarian area" in southern Gaza.
Muhammad Al-Mughair, director of supply for Civil Defence in Gaza, said in a press statement that the Civil Defence is suffering from a crisis due to fuel shortage in the "humanitarian area," warning that the continued prevention of fuel supply threatens the lives of thousands of displaced people.
