Israeli fire kills five people, including a child, in Gaza, medics say
Health officials said 12 people were wounded as Israel carried out strikes it says targeted militants after a U.S.-mediated ceasefire.
On Wednesday, Israeli airstrikes killed at least five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including a 10-year-old child in a tent at Mawasi, Khan Younis, and one person near a school in Gaza City.
Israel has repeatedly carried out strikes targeting militants who threaten its forces or participated in the October 2023 attack, while Hamas has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement.
Twelve people were wounded in the two incidents; the Israeli military did not immediately comment on the attacks.
Since the ceasefire took effect nine months ago, more than 1,070 Palestinians and four Israeli soldiers have been killed, according to figures released by both sides.
Nickolay Mladenov, President Donald Trump's appointed Board of Peace envoy to Gaza, stated that both sides have violated the ceasefire agreement.
