At least nine Palestinians were killed in new Israeli strikes in the south of the Gaza Strip, medical sources said Tuesday, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his forces to strike the blockaded Palestinian enclave despite the cease-fire.

A strike targeted a home in the Sabra neighborhood in western Gaza City inside the "yellow line," killing four people, while several others remained missing under the rubble, the sources said.

The "yellow line" refers to the zone to which Israeli forces have withdrawn under the ceasefire agreement, stretching from southern North Gaza Governorate to the outskirts of Rafah.

Five more Palestinians were killed when Israeli forces struck a vehicle in Khan Younis, also within the "yellow line" in southern Gaza.

According to Anadolu Agency (AA) reporters, an Israeli airstrike hit the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, while artillery fire targeted areas east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Missiles also struck around the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City.
