CAIRO/RAMALLAH: An Israeli airstrike killed at least three people in the Gaza Strip on Monday, local health officials said, in ​the latest round of violence since a US-brokered ceasefire took effect more than five months ago.

Medics said three people were killed and two others wounded when an Israeli plane fired a missile at a group of Palestinians near the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.

The Israeli military said it had struck and killed members of a Hamas armed cell it had identified in the northern Gaza Strip to remove the threat ‌to its ‌troops operating in the area.

Health officials say at least 50 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since the Iran conflict began ‌a month ago.

More than 72,000 ​people ‌have been ​killed since the war in Gaza started in October 2023.
