The Israeli military had not provided immediate comment on the incident. This latest violence adds to the ongoing conflict since the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in October, which aimed to halt their two-year-long war. Despite the ceasefire, at least 1,123 people have been killed in Gaza since it took effect, according to Gaza's health ministry.
The health ministry maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by UN agencies and independent experts. An independent UN inquiry has found that Israel continues to commit genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza. Militants have carried out shooting attacks on troops, and Israel says its strikes are in response to these violations.
The war began after the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. Israel's offensive in Gaza has resulted in more than 73,264 Palestinian deaths, including those killed since the ceasefire.
