Seven Palestinians died in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, according to health officials and the civil defense. An Israeli drone strike on the Dajazat displacement camp in Gaza City killed six people and wounded at least 15, civil defense reported. The Israeli military said it targeted "terrorists" in the area.
In the southern city of Khan Younis, a 25-year-old man was killed in an Israeli strike on his home, civil defense said. He was reportedly set to marry on Tuesday.
The Israeli army said that it targeted terrorists in the mentioned area, without providing further details.
Despite a ceasefire in place since October, Gaza experiences near-daily violence. At least 940 people have been killed since then, with more than half of the Palestinian enclave under Israeli control, a situation that contravenes the ceasefire terms. Both Hamas and Israel accuse each other of violating the truce.
The 25-year-old man was supposed to get married today.
