Israel continues to carry out deadly attacks in Gaza

Four Palestinians, including a child, were killed and five others wounded in fresh Israeli attacks in Gaza, marking another violation of a ceasefire in effect since last October, a medical source said.

The source said two young men were killed and a third was seriously injured in a drone strike in the northern town of Beit Lahia on Sunday.

According to witnesses, the drone struck a group of civilians near the Umm al-Fahm School, where hundreds of displaced people have sheltered in Beit Lahia.

A Palestinian woman was also shot and wounded by Israeli fire in the al-Amoudi area in the same town.

Local sources said the attacks took place in areas outside the territory the Israeli army continues to occupy inside Gaza.

A 13-year-old girl was also killed by shrapnel from an Israeli artillery shell near the Bani Suheila roundabout, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the medical source said.
