Two Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza despite ceasefire

At least two Palestinians have been killed by Israeli tank fire west of Rafah in southern Gaza, the enclave’s Civil Defence officials have told Al Jazeera.

The Israeli military said they were looking into the report of the attack, the Reuters news agency said on Thursday.

The attack comes after Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire that took effect on Sunday.

The initial phase is scheduled to last six weeks, and involves a limited prisoner exchange, the partial withdrawal of Israeli troops in Gaza and a surge of aid into the enclave.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 47,283 Palestinians and wounded 111,472 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,200 people were also killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and 250 taken captive.
