Israeli Fire Kills Three People in Gaza, Medics Say

CAIRO, June 2 (Reuters) – Israeli fire ⁠killed ⁠at least three ⁠Palestinians in separate incidents across the Gaza ​Strip on Tuesday, Gaza health officials said.

Medics said at least ‌one person was killed ‌and four were wounded when an Israeli ⁠airstrike hit ⁠a vehicle east of Deir Al-Balah in the central ​Gaza Strip. The blast left the vehicle a mangled skeleton.

Another strike earlier in the day killed one person ​and wounded another in the nearby Zawayda town, they ⁠added, while ⁠Israeli gunfire killed ⁠one ​man in northwest Khan Younis, south of the enclave.

The Israeli ​military did not ⁠immediately comment on either of the incidents.

An October ceasefire, brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, has failed to halt Israeli attacks in Gaza.

Israel and Hamas ⁠are deadlocked in indirect talks over implementing the second phase ⁠of the deal, which includes the group’s disarmament and Israeli army withdrawals.

The ceasefire left Israel in control of more than half of Gaza, with Hamas controlling a sliver of coastal territory.

Some 930 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since the truce came into effect, according to ⁠figures from Gaza health officials that do not distinguish between combatants and civilians.

Four Israeli soldiers have been killed by militants during the same period, ​the country’s military has said.
