GAZA CITY, Palestine/ISTANBUL (AA) - Three Palestinians were killed and six others injured in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, marking a new violation of the Oct. 10 ceasefire agreement, sources said.

Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in separate attacks, one in Khan Younis in southern Gaza and another in the Shujaiya-Tuffah area east of Gaza City, medical sources told Anadolu.

Witnesses said Israeli forces also struck a building belonging to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Jabalia, in northern Gaza, wounding two Palestinians.

Earlier, a medical source told Anadolu that a man was killed by Israeli gunfire in the Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.

Witnesses said Israeli forces opened fire on tents sheltering displaced civilians in the neighborhood, causing the fatality.

An Israeli drone also hit a communications tower on Al-Wehda Street, which houses several press offices in central Gaza City, the sources said, adding that four passersby were injured.

Palestinians have accused Israel of repeatedly violating the ceasefire deal, which halted Tel Aviv’s two-year war that has killed more than 71,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 171,400 others since October 2023.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 484 people have been killed and 1,321 others injured since the fragile truce.
