Israeli attacks in Gaza on Tuesday have killed at least five Palestinians, including two children, medical sources have told Reuters, as the IDF continues its constant violations of the US-backed ceasefire deal.

WAFA reported that one strike hit the al-Mawasi tent camp, killing at least two Palestinians, including an eight-year-old girl, identified as Amal Yasser Omar.

In Gaza City, sources told Reuters that an Israeli strike on a car also killed two Palestinians, including a child, and wounded seven.

Further north, in Jabalia, Reuters reported that the medical charity Medical Aid for Palestinians said one of its patients was killed at one of its health centers after being shot in the head by an Israeli quadcopter drone.

Also on Tuesday, Palestinians in Gaza City held a funeral for Ahmed al-Batash, a senior member of Hamas’s armed wing, the al-Qassams Brigade, who was killed by an Israeli attack on Monday. Israeli officials claimed that one of the attacks on Tuesday killed Hamas’s “Rafah commander.”

Israel continues to kill Hamas officials despite Hamas agreeing to a US-proposed disarmament deal, a potential agreement that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected. President Trump has said that Israel should stop bombing Gaza since Hamas agreed to lay down its weapons, but the US continues to back Israel’s attacks.
