Gaza City, Gaza Strip. Israeli fire killed at least four Palestinians in separate incidents across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, Gaza health officials said. Medics said the casualties occurred in airstrikes and gunfire in central and southern parts of the enclave.
Separate incidents
Medics said at least one person was killed and four were wounded when an Israeli airstrike hit a vehicle east of Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. The blast left the vehicle heavily damaged.
Another strike earlier in the day killed one person and wounded another in the nearby town of Zawayda, they said. Later on Tuesday, an airstrike killed one person at a tent encampment in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on those incidents.
Gunfire in Khan Younis
Israeli gunfire also killed one man in northwest Khan Younis, medics said, bringing Tuesday’s death toll to at least four.
The Israeli military said in a statement that it had fired towards two people approaching the Israeli-controlled yellow line near Khan Younis on Tuesday.
Ceasefire talks
An October ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump has failed to halt Israeli attacks in Gaza.
Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked in indirect talks over the implementation of the second phase of the deal, which includes Hamas’s disarmament and Israeli army withdrawals.
The ceasefire left Israel in control of more than half of Gaza, with Hamas controlling a small strip of coastal territory.
According to figures from Gaza health officials, some 930 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since the truce came into effect. The figures do not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
