Palestinian health officials say Israeli strikes kill five

Israeli strikes killed at least five Palestinians in ​separate incidents in the Gaza Strip on Monday, Palestinian health officials said.

Medics said one man was killed in an Israeli air strike in the Bureij camp in the central area of the enclave, while another strike killed one person and wounded others in Gaza City.

Later on Monday, an Israeli air strike killed at least ​three people in western Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, health officials at the territory's Nasser Hospital ​said.

The five deaths were the latest violence to overshadow the US-brokered ceasefire deal signed in October after two years ⁠of full-blown war between Israel and Hamas. Progress has stalled on parts of the deal, which include the disarmament of Hamas and ​Israeli army pullouts.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on either incident.

The ceasefire that began last October left Israeli troops in control ​of a depopulated zone that makes up well over half of Gaza, with Hamas controlling the narrow coastal strip that remains.

More than 750 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire deal took effect, according to local medics, while Israel says militants have killed four of its ​soldiers. Israel and Hamas have traded blame for ceasefire violations.
