Israeli forces have killed at least six Palestinians, including a father and his 13-year-old son, in separate attacks in Gaza, according to local health sources.
Three people were killed on Tuesday in an Israeli air attack on the Ghubain family home in Gaza City’s Daraj area. A father and son were killed in a separate air attack on a tent in the city’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, and a man was killed by Israeli gunfire in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Gaza continues to face regular Israeli attacks despite last year’s 'ceasefire'. The enclave’s Health Ministry says more than 1,600 people have been killed by Israel in Gaza since the United States-brokered truce agreement. The ministry also reported that more than 74,000 people have been killed in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
