One civilian was seriously injured, and there was a report of additional injuries, following an alleged Israeli airstrike on a vehicle west of the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, on May 18th 2021, according to local reports.

The Palestinian Information Centre said that at 08:38 one person was seriously injured when an aircraft hit a “tuk tuk” (a three-wheeled motorized vehicle), in an agricultural area west of the Nuseirat refugee camp. One source, a Twitter account belong to Amjad Ahmed, stated that more than one person had been injured in the attack.

A tweet from @Ehabhelou identified “two raids” as being carried out and the majority of sources attributed these raids to Israel.
