Al Jazeera\u2019s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah in Gaza, said there has been a surge in Israeli attacks across Gaza overnight and into the early hours of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can see that the attacks have been pretty much concentrated on Gaza City, where a residential flat was targeted without any warning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are seeing very distressing scenes, and footage coming from the site of the attack shows the scale of destruction that has been inflicted upon the whole residential area,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also saw a clear activation of Israeli drones and fighter jets through the early hours of this morning across the central areas of the territory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palestinians inspected the aftermath of the strike on the apartment in Gaza City before gathering for the couple\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re supposed to be in a ceasefire period, but honestly, we are not seeing a ceasefire or anything. The war is still going on, assassinations are continuing, and the shelling has not stopped,\u201d Mahmoud Yassin, whose brother was killed, told the Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n
