Gaza (QNN)- At least five Palestinians were killed and others injured on Tuesday by Israeli forces across the Gaza Strip, despite a ceasefire that took effect on Friday.
Local sources reported five people were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
In Khan Younis in southern Gaza, two Palestinians were wounded by Israeli fire, medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex said.
Hamas slammed Israel’s violation of the ceasefire. The Palestinian group spokesperson Hazem Qassem said, “The Israeli army’s killing of several residents of Gaza this morning through airstrikes and gunfire constitutes a violation of the ceasefire agreement.”
“Once again, we call on all parties to monitor Israel’s actions and ensure it does not evade its obligations to mediators regarding the end of the war on Gaza,” he added.
The ceasefire in Gaza took effect on Friday morning after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of the 20-point plan brokered by Trump.
On Monday, Hamas concluded the release of 20 living Israeli captives. In exchange, 1,968 Palestinian detainees were freed, ending the first phase of the ceasefire deal.
More than 67,800 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the start of the genocide in Gaza in October 2023.
