About 91% of all homes in Gaza are now destroyed or damaged, leaving the majority of the population without safe, permanent shelter, the U.N.'s OCHA said.
An Israeli airstrike on a car in Gaza City killed at least four people and wounded several others, local health authorities said on Saturday, in a further test of a fragile ceasefire between Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel.
Three Palestinians were killed by troops on the Israeli-controlled side of the ceasefire line in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian media and local hospitals report. There is no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces. Gaza City’s Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital says one person was killed by gunfire in the city’s eastern Tuffah neighborhood.
The ceasefire is broadly holding in Gaza, with Israeli forces inside the strip having pulled back to the so-called "yellow line." Still, renewed Israeli strikes killed dozens of Palestinians last week in response to what Israel alleged was a ceasefire violation by a Hamas gunman.
The target of the Israeli airstrike in Gaza City was a commander in Hamas’s military wing, the Saudi Al-Hadath channel reports. According to Palestinian media, at least four people were killed in the strike targeting a vehicle in the city’s west, which is outside of IDF control amid the ceasefire.
