An ambulance brings people injured in the Israeli strikes to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah.
The srtikes killed at least two people and injured four others, Gaza’s civil defence said.
The Israeli strikes targeted an area close to Shifa hospital, the largest operational hospital in northern Gaza, witnesses and Hamas media said. There was no word yet on any casualties.
Gaza’s civil defence agency said that Israel launched at least three air strikes on the Palestinian territory Tuesday.
“The occupation is now bombing Gaza with at least three air strikes despite the ceasefire agreement”, Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the agency told AFP. Witnesses told AFP that they heard the blasts.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strikes, which were the latest violence in a fragile three-week-old ceasefire and which followed a statement by Netanyahu’s office saying he had ordered immediate attacks.
The statement did not give a specific reason for the attacks but an Israeli military official said Hamas had violated the ceasefire by carrying out an attack against Israeli forces in an area of the enclave that is under Israeli control.
The US-backed ceasefire agreement went into effect on October 10, halting two years of war that was triggered by deadly Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023 and that has devastated the narrow coastal strip.
Both sides have accused each other of violations.
On Saturday, Israel said its forces carried out a “targeted strike” on a person in central Gaza who was planning to attack Israeli troops.
