CAIRO/GAZA, May 5 (Reuters) - Israeli strikes killed at least two Palestinians and wounded several others in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, health officials said.
Medics said a Palestinian was killed and two others were wounded by an Israeli airstrike near the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in Gaza City, while another was killed and several others were wounded by Israeli tank shelling near the central area of the enclave.
There was no immediate Israeli comment on either incident.
Violence in Gaza has persisted despite an October 2025 ceasefire, with Israel conducting almost daily attacks on Palestinians. Israel and Hamas have blamed ​each ⁠other for ceasefire violations.
At Al Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility still partially functional in the enclave, relatives and friends arrived to bid farewell to one of the victims, Mohammed Al-Ghandour. Two girls were crying and being comforted by a woman outside the hospital’s morgue.
“The Zionist enemy doesn’t know anything called truce and does not commit to international treaties or laws or humanitarian laws,” said the victim’s uncle, Abu Omar Al-Naffar.
At least 830 Palestinians have been killed since the ​ceasefire deal took ​effect, according ⁠to local medics, while Israel says militants have killed four of its soldiers over ​the same period.
Israel says its strikes are aimed at thwarting attempts by Hamas and other Palestinian militants to stage attacks against its forces.
More than 72,500 Palestinians have been killed since the Gaza war started in October 2023, most ⁠of ​them civilians, according to Gaza health ​authorities.
Since the truce last October, Israel still occupies more than half of Gaza, where it has ordered residents out and demolished almost all remaining structures. Nearly the entire population of more than 2 million Palestinians now lives in a narrow strip along the coast, mainly in tents and damaged buildings, under the de facto control of Hamas.
