Gaza’s civil defence agency said Israeli attacks in the Palestinian territory on Thursday killed at least 13 people, including five children, despite a ceasefire that has largely halted the fighting.<\/p>\n
Four people, including three children, were killed when a drone struck a tent sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza, agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.<\/p>\n
In the north of the Gaza Strip, an 11-year-old girl was killed near the Jabalia refugee camp and a strike on a school killed one person, while a drone near Khan Yunis in the south killed a man, the agency added.<\/p>\n
Two more Gazans, including a child, were killed in other attacks, reported the agency, which operates under Hamas authority.<\/p>\n
Later on Thursday evening, four more people were killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted a house in an eastern area of Gaza City, Bassal said, adding that rescue work to search for several people who were missing had begun.<\/p>\n
“The death toll has risen to 13 as a result of Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip since this morning in a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement,” Bassal said.<\/p>\n
In a statement Friday morning, the Israeli military said it “precisely struck Hamas terrorists and terror infrastructure in the southern and northern Gaza Strip” in response to a “failed projectile” launch.<\/p>\n
“The projectile that was launched from the Gaza Strip constitutes a violation of the ceasefire agreement,” the statement added.<\/p>\n
Since October 10, a fragile US-sponsored truce in Gaza has largely halted the fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas, but both sides have alleged frequent violations.<\/p>\n
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem told AFP that the strikes in Gaza on Thursday “confirm the Israeli occupation’s renunciation of its commitment to the ceasefire”.<\/p>\n
Israeli forces have killed at least 425 Palestinians in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, according to Gaza’s health ministry.<\/p>\n
At least 21 people were killed on November 22 in Israeli strikes, making it one of the deadliest days in Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military said militants have killed three of its soldiers during the same period.<\/p>\n
