Cairo\/Gaza\u00a0–\u00a0Israeli fire killed at least 11 Palestinians, including two children, in separate incidents across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, local health officials said, in the latest violence to undermine a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four people, including a three-year-old boy, Yahya Al-Malahi, were killed in a strike that had targeted a police vehicle in Gaza City, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry said. A police officer was among the dead, while nine bystanders were wounded, some critically, it said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the north of the enclave, near Jabalia, Israeli fire killed a 14-year-old child, Adam Ahmed Halaa, health authorities and his family said.<\/p>\n

Israel’s military did not immediately provide comment on either incident.<\/p>\n

Later on Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike hit near a cafe in the Beach camp in western Gaza City, killing at least five people and wounding several others, health officials said.<\/p>\n

An Israeli military spokesperson said the strike targeted a Hamas militant.<\/p>\n

At Gaza’s largest hospital, Al Shifa, relatives rushed to pay farewell to those killed.<\/p>\n

Carrying his little boy in his arms, Mukhlis Al-Malahi said they were leaving a relative’s wedding when the Israeli plane attacked the police vehicle.<\/p>\n

“We got close to Timraz crossroad with Nafaq (street); then, we suddenly found something hitting us. They hit a police vehicle as we walked,” the father, whose shirt was stained with his son’s blood, told Reuters.<\/p>\n

“What is his fault? What is his crime? He should be wearing a wedding suit at his cousin’s today, but instead, he wore a shroud stained with blood,” cried the young boy’s cousin, Hader Al-Malahi.<\/p>\n

In northern Gaza, Israel’s military said it killed a man who had approached the armistice line with Hamas, describing him as an armed militant.<\/p>\n

Health authorities confirmed a man had been killed in the area, without providing details.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Death toll rises despite ceasefire<\/p>\n

The ceasefire that began last October halted two years of\u00a0full-blown war\u00a0but left Israeli troops in control of a depopulated zone that makes up well over half of Gaza, with Hamas in power in the remaining, narrow coastal strip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Israel has escalated its attacks on Hamas-led police and security forces since October, killing dozens, the group’s officials in Gaza have told Reuters, accusing Israel of trying to cause chaos and anarchy.<\/p>\n

Israel says it aims to thwart attacks by Hamas and other militant factions.<\/p>\n

More than 750 Palestinians\u00a0have been killed\u00a0since the ceasefire deal took effect, while militants have killed four Israeli soldiers. Israel and Hamas have traded blame for ceasefire violations.<\/p>\n

Palestinians also say Israeli forces have been expanding the zone they occupy. Israel denies this.<\/p>\n
