On Monday, an Israeli strike resulting in the deaths of two Palestinians in the southern Gaza Strip emerged as health officials reported. The Israeli military claimed it was targeting a militant in the region, offering no additional details. Israel, alleging that Hamas is rearming and launching attacks against the ceasefire, intensified its strikes on the group in recent weeks.
Conversely, Hamas denies any intention to carry out attacks or rebuild its arsenal, instead accusing Israel of breaching the Gaza peace deal. The US-brokered ceasefire from last year aimed at eventual reconstruction of the territory, but little advancement has been made toward implementing terms for Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw its troops.
According to Gaza health officials, a minimum of 1,400 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the October ceasefire. Israel, on the other hand, states that four of its soldiers have been killed by militants in Gaza during the same period.
