Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least nine people, including a child, in the Gaza Strip yesterday, health officials said.

An Israeli airstrike killed four Palestinians, including two women and a child, in an apartment building in Gaza City, health officials said. The attack on the building in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City destroyed the apartment and wounded several other people.

In another incident, Israeli forces shot and killed a woman in Beit Lahiya town further north, medics said. An Israeli airstrike killed at least one person and wounded eight others in Khan Younis, south of the enclave.

Later, an Israeli airstrike killed three people, including a local photographer, in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, medics said.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on any of the incidents.

An October ceasefire has halted major fighting between Hamas and Israel, but it has not ended Israeli attacks.

Gaza’s health ministry said more than 1,010 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire. Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked over how to proceed with the next stage of Donald Trump’s Gaza plan, which involves Hamas laying down its arms and Israeli withdrawals.
