CAIRO: Israeli forces shot and killed at least three Palestinians in separate incidents in the southern Gaza Strip city ​of Khan Younis on Sunday, local health authorities said.

Medics reported that the dead included a 15-year-old boy, a fisherman killed outside areas still occupied by Israel in the enclave, and a third man who was shot and killed east ‌of the city in ‌areas under Israeli ‌control.

The ⁠Israeli ​military ‌had no immediate comment on the reported incidents.

Israel has carried out repeated air strikes since a ceasefire took effect in October, saying they are aimed at preventing attacks or destroying militant infrastructure.

Gaza’s health ministry says 420 ⁠Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began, while ‌militants have killed three Israeli soldiers.
