Israeli fire killed at least nine Palestinians, including two children, in separate incidents across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, local health officials said, in the latest violence to undermine a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement.
Four people, including a three-year-old boy, Yahya Al-Malahi, were killed in a strike that had targeted a police vehicle in Gaza City, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry said. A police officer was among the dead, while nine bystanders were wounded, some critically, it said.
In the north of the enclave, near Jabalya, Israeli fire killed a 14-year-old boy, Adam Ahmed Halaa, health authorities and his family said. Later on Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike hit near a cafe in the Beach camp in western Gaza City, killing at least three people and wounding several others, health officials said.
Israel’s military did not immediately provide a comment on either strike.
