Gaza City [Gaza], July 17: At least five Palestinians have been killed in attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip as Israel continues to violate an October "ceasefire" on a near-daily basis.
Palestinian health officials reported several aerial and artillery attacks across the enclave on Thursday, including an Israeli air strike near the northern neighbourhood of Tuffah in Gaza City that killed two people. One person was killed and several were injured when a tent encampment housing displaced Palestinians was bombed in western Gaza City. Elsewhere, a fourth person was killed by Israeli tank fire in eastern Gaza City while a fifth was killed in the southern city of Khan Younis when a car was attacked.
Since Israel and Hamas signed a US-backed agreement to end the war, little progress has been made in implementing the deal, raising questions about its credibility. Israeli strikes have continued unabated with more than 1,100 Palestinians killed since the truce began.
