A fresh Israeli strike on Gaza killed a 6-year-old girl and her parents Wednesday, Palestinian health officials said, as talks to advance the U.S.-brokered Gaza cease-fire deal faltered.
The strike on an apartment building in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza killed Omar Abu Qassem, his wife, Asma, and their daughter, Habeeba, medics said. Their son survived, but was injured, medics said.
The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted a Hamas member.
In the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike killed one person, medics said. The Israeli military didn't immediately comment on this incident.
Overall, at least 13 Palestinians were killed and 18 others injured in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours despite the truce, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said Wednesday.
