Four Palestinians were wounded in two Israeli strikes in Gaza, according to Palestinian medical sources, in the latest reported incidents threatening a ceasefire that has been in place since last October and the first in more than a week.
In northern Gaza, an Israeli drone struck a three-wheeled vehicle near a roundabout in Beit Lahia, according to a medical source at al-Shifa Hospital.
Two people were taken to the hospital, with one reported to be in critical condition.
Fresh strikes reported across Gaza
In southern Gaza, an elderly man and a child sustained moderate injuries after an Israeli drone dropped a grenade near a gathering of civilians in central Khan Younis, a medical source at Nasser Hospital said.
Palestinian sources also reported heavy fire from Israeli military vehicles and drones toward homes east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
The incidents came after a period in which Palestinian sources said Israeli air strikes and targeted killings had declined, although they continued to report violations of the ceasefire.
Ceasefire toll continues to rise
According to Gaza's health ministry, Israeli violations since the ceasefire have killed 1,259 Palestinians and wounded 4,148 others.
The ceasefire was reached after Israel's war in Gaza, which began in October 2023.
Palestinian authorities say the conflict has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 174,000, while causing extensive destruction across the enclave.
The UN has estimated reconstruction costs at about $70 billion, with around 90% of civilian infrastructure damaged.
