Israeli attacks killed at least seven people, including four children, in the Gaza Strip, despite the cease-fire, the blockaded Palestinian enclave's civil defense agency said Thursday.

Four people, including three children, were killed when a drone struck a tent sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza, agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

In the north of the Gaza Strip, an 11-year-old girl was killed near the Jabalia refugee camp and a strike on a school killed one person, while a drone near Khan Younis in the south killed a man, the agency added.

When asked by AFP, the Israeli military said it was checking the reports.

Earlier on Thursday, the military said a projectile was launched "from the area of Gaza City toward the State of Israel" but that it fell within the Gaza Strip.
