Cairo: Israeli attacks killed at least five people in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, health officials said. A child is one among the deceased in the recent wave of attacks.
Health officials stated that an Israeli airstrike killed four Palestinians, including two women and a child, in an apartment building in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City. The attack destroyed the apartment and wounded several other people, medics added on.
Medics also added that in another incident, Israeli forces shot and killed a woman in the northern town of Beit Lahiya.
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 also killed by militants in Gaza over the same period.
Israel says its strikes are aimed at thwarting imminent attacks by Hamas and other militants. However, Hamas rarely discloses information about the deaths of its fighters.
Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked over how to proceed with the next stage of Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan. The plan involves the disarmament of Hamas, the release of hostages and Israeli withdrawals, among others.
