GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories: Gaza health officials said an Israeli airstrike killed at least five people and wounded several others on Tuesday, in the latest violence to hit the territory despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Gaza remains gripped by daily violence, with both the Israeli military and Hamas accusing one another of violating the truce in effect since October 10.
“Five martyrs and several wounded were transferred (to hospital) after an Israeli airstrike targeted a group of citizens in eastern Al-Maghazi,” the civil defense agency, which operates as a rescue service under Hamas said.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital and a Palestinian security source confirmed the incident and the casualties.
The Israeli military said it was checking the reports.
