Israeli fire kills six people in Gaza

OMAR AL-QATTAA / AFP

Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least six people, including a child, in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, health officials said.

An Israeli airstrike killed four Palestinians, including two women and a child, in an apartment building in Gaza City, health officials said. The attack on the building in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City destroyed the apartment and wounded several other people, medics added.

In another incident, Israeli forces shot and killed a woman in Beit Lahiya town further north, said medics. Later, an Israeli airstrike killed at least one person and wounded eight others in Khan Younis, south of the enclave, taking Saturday's death toll to at least six.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on either incident.

An October ceasefire may have halted major fighting between Hamas and Israel, but it has failed to end Israeli attacks.

Gaza's health ministry said more than 1,010 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire. Four Israeli soldiers were killed by militants in Gaza over the same period.

Israel says its strikes are aimed at thwarting imminent attacks by Hamas.

Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked over how to proceed with the next stage of Trump's Gaza plan, which involves Hamas laying down its arms and Israeli withdrawals.
