Israeli strikes have killed at least two Palestinians and wounded several others in two separate attacks in the Gaza Strip, health officials ‌say.

A woman was killed and her husband ‌and others were wounded in one Israeli strike on the rooftop of their building in Gaza City, medics said.

Another strike killed a woman and wounded others in central Gaza's ‌Nuseirat refugee ‌camp, they ⁠added.

The Israeli military said it struck ​a militant in Nuseirat, without giving further details. It did not immediately comment on the reported strike in Gaza City.

Palestinian authorities say more than 73,000 people have been killed in Israel's ⁠assault on Gaza, launched ‌after Hamas-led ​fighters killed about 1200 people in southern Israel in October ​2023.

A US-brokered ‌ceasefire agreed last year calls for the eventual reconstruction of ​the territory, but little progress has been made as negotiators have failed to agree terms for Hamas ​to ​disarm and Israel to ​withdraw its troops. Israeli air strikes have ‌continued.

At least 1400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, according to the territory's health officials, while the Israeli military says four Israeli ​soldiers have been killed.

Israel and Hamas trade blame ​over responsibility for violations ⁠of the ceasefire agreement.
