Israeli air strikes and gunfire killed six Palestinians, including a woman, in Gaza early on Tuesday according to medical sources and witnesses, marking another violation of a fragile ceasefire in place since last October.
Four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike targeting the Al-Amal neighbourhood in central Khan Younis in southern Gaza, with the bodies taken to Nasser Hospital, medical sources said.
Witnesses said an Israeli drone fired at least one missile at a group of people in the area, killing four.
Another Palestinian was killed in an Israeli strike on a post office in the Sheikh Nasser neighbourhood east of Khan Younis.
In a separate incident, Israeli artillery shelled eastern areas of Khan Younis, within zones where Israeli forces are deployed, with no casualties reported.
In northern Gaza, a 30-year-old woman was killed, and others were wounded after Israeli naval forces opened fire towards tents housing displaced people in the Al-Salatin area west of Beit Lahia, according to medical sources and witnesses.
