ISTANBUL (AA) – Israeli forces killed four Palestinians, including a woman, and wounded others in fresh attacks on Tuesday, in continued violations of the Oct. 10 ceasefire agreement, medical sources said.

The sources said two Palestinians were killed in a drone strike targeting an electric bike near al-Masdar village in the central Gaza Strip.

An Israeli drone also opened fire in the same village, killing a woman, the sources added.

In the southern city of Khan Younis, Israeli gunfire killed one Palestinian and wounded four others in the western al-Satar area in the city center, medics said.

The targeted areas lie outside zones under Israeli military control as defined by the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the sources added.

The Israeli army, for its part, claimed that the attacks targeted what it called Hamas members across the Gaza Strip.

The attacks were the latest Israeli violation of the ceasefire agreement that halted Israel’s two-year war, killing more than 72,000 people and injuring over 171,000 others since October 2023.

At least 581 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,553 others injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
