Israel has killed three Palestinians and wounded 25 others in its air strikes targeting displacement tents in Gaza as Tel Aviv continues to violate the ceasefire agreement.

Islam Abushamala, a 15-year-old Palestinian girl, and her 35-year-old brother, Abdullah, were killed in Israeli strikes targeting two displacement tents west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, while six others were wounded, medical sources told Anadolu Agency.

Witnesses said an Israeli drone struck two adjacent tents on Al-Rashid Street near the entrance to Roni Street in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis.

They added that the strike destroyed both tents, damaged nearby shelters, and caused multiple casualties in the area.

Later, Zaher Abu Salem, 45, succumbed to wounds sustained in the same strike.

Drones hit civilian gatherings

In Gaza City, 18 Palestinians, most of them women and children, were wounded after an Israeli drone struck passersby near the Dabit intersection on Al-Jalaa Street, with two reported in critical condition.

The strike targeted a group of pedestrians near a tent sheltering displaced people, coinciding with the passage of a public vehicle on the road.

In Jabalia in northern Gaza, a 9-year-old girl was wounded after an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on a gathering of Palestinians in the Al-Faluja area west of the camp.

Armour advances beyond security lines

In central Gaza, two Israeli tanks and a military bulldozer advanced around 200 metres westward in the area southeast of Al-Maghazi Camp and east of Deir al-Balah amid heavy gunfire.

The vehicles removed yellow concrete blocks marking the so-called "yellow line," in a new expansion of Israeli-occupied areas inside the enclave.

The targeted location lies outside the zone of Israeli military control under the terms of the ceasefire agreement, according to witnesses.

According to Gaza's Health Ministry, Israeli ceasefire violations have killed 1,038 Palestinians and wounded 3,329 others as of Saturday.

More than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed, over 173,000 others wounded, and around 90 percent of civilian infrastructure has been destroyed since the start of the war in Gaza on 8 October 2023, according to local authorities.
