The deaths of a father and his teenage son in Gaza on Tuesday added to the toll since the ceasefire began, as negotiators remained unable to settle disarmament and withdrawal terms, Reuters reported.
Local health officials said at least three Palestinians died in Gaza that day. Medics named Fadi Rajab and his 13-year-old son, Abubakr, among those killed after an airstrike struck a shelter for displaced residents in Zeitoun, a Gaza City neighborhood. They also reported that a shooting in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, left one person dead.
Reuters said the Israeli military had not commented on either incident when the report was published.
Negotiators have not settled the conditions for Hamas to disarm or for Israeli troops to leave, Reuters reported. Israeli forces control roughly two-thirds of Gaza, where residents have been ordered to leave, the outlet said. The ceasefire also envisioned rebuilding Gaza, a goal that Reuters reported has seen little progress.
Israel says Hamas is regrouping and replenishing its weapons stockpile. Hamas says it remains committed to the ceasefire and accuses Israel of eroding the agreement.
Gaza health officials say Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,600 Palestinians since the ceasefire agreement. Israel says four soldiers have been killed. EconoTimes previously reported on Israeli strikes and gunfire amid unresolved Gaza ceasefire terms.
