Despite the current ceasefire, several people have been injured, some seriously, in incidents in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said on Saturday.
Four people were injured when an Israeli airstrike hit a vehicle in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday evening, according to medical sources in the coastal area.
The Israeli army confirmed an attack on the city. It was reported that it was aimed at members of the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). They allegedly planned an attack on Israeli soldiers.
Earlier, one person was seriously wounded by Israeli shelling northwest of the southern city of Rafah, sources at the nearby Nasser Hospital said.
The area is under the control of the Israeli military. When asked, the Israeli army said it was investigating the report.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said two people were also injured when an Israeli airstrike hit a car in the town of Bani Suhaylam, near Khan Younis. An Israeli army spokesman said he was aware of the report but could not confirm a similar incident in the area.
The Hamas-controlled health authority said 93 Palestinians had been killed since the ceasefire took effect on October 10. Many of the deaths occurred about a week ago.
The Israeli army has confirmed that two soldiers were killed in attacks in the southern Gaza Strip last Sunday. Israel then launched its heaviest airstrikes since the ceasefire began. According to hospitals, 44 Palestinians were killed.
Since then the situation has calmed down significantly. However, there are still isolated incidents.
The Israeli army said it opened fire on individuals who entered and approached soldiers beyond the so-called yellow line. The Israeli military retreated beyond that line as part of a ceasefire agreement and controls the area there.
The information provided by both parties cannot be independently verified at this time.
