Israeli strikes kill at least seven civilians in Gaza, including father and son

Health officials in Gaza said Israeli forces killed at least seven Palestinians on Tuesday. An airstrike hit the roof of a displacement shelter in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City, killing Fadi Rajab and his 13-year-old son Abubakr. A separate strike near a school in the Daraj neighbourhood killed a third person, while Israeli gunfire in Khan Younis resulted in another death. Later, an airstrike on a metal foundry in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City killed three more people, bringing the day's toll to at least seven. The Israeli military said it targeted militants in the Zeitoun and Daraj areas but offered no further details and did not comment on the incidents in Khan Younis or Sabra. The conflict follows a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that called for Gaza's reconstruction, but negotiations on Hamas disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawal have stalled. Israeli officials claim Hamas is attempting to regroup, while Hamas says it remains committed to the ceasefire and accuses Israel of undermining the agreement. Palestinian health officials report that more than 1,600 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire, while Israel says four of its soldiers have died.
