Israeli forces have killed at least seven Palestinians in the Gaza Strip Tuesday, including a father and his 13-year-old son, have announced local health officials.
According to doctors, Fadi Rajab and his son, Abubakr, were killed by an air strike that hit the climax of a shelter for displaced persons in the Zeito district of Gaza. Meanwhile, another Palestinian lost his life in an Israeli air strike near a school in Daraj County, the same town.
The Israeli Army said it had hit militants in both areas, but did not provide further details about the operations, reports the news agency Reuters.
In Khan Yunis, south of Gaza’s Belt, a man was killed by Israeli forces’ fire, according to doctors.
Meanwhile, later Tuesday, another Israeli air strike struck a metal smelter in Gaza City’s Sabra district, where three people were killed. In this case, the number of Palestinians killed during the day reached at least seven.
The Israeli army had not immediately commented on the incidents in Khan Yunis and the Sabra neighbourhood.
A ceasefire agreement, brokered by the United States last year, also envisioned the reconstruction of Gaza, but little progress has been noted in that direction. Negotiations have stalled due to disagreements over conditions for the disarming of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli troops, which currently control about two-thirds of the enclave. Residents of areas under Israeli control are ordered to leave.
Israel claims Hamas is trying to regroup and rebuild its arsenal, while Hamas claims he remains committed to the ceasefire agreement and accuses Israel of trying to undermine it.
According to Palestinian health officials, at least 1,000 and 600 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire agreement entered into force. On the other hand, Israel says four of its soldiers were killed during the same period.
