GAZA CITY: Gaza health officials said Israeli air strikes killed at least seven people on Tuesday, including five in one attack, in the latest violence to hit the Palestinian 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 defence 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.
