An Israeli airstrike killed at least four Palestinians at an apartment building in Gaza City early Saturday, according to health officials in the Gaza Strip.
The strike occurred as tensions continue despite a US-brokered ceasefire that halted much of the large-scale fighting in the territory. Gaza health officials said the four people were killed in the apartment building, while further details about the victims were not immediately available.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military regarding the reported strike, according to Reuters.
Israel has said Hamas has been rearming and carrying out attacks in violation of the ceasefire. Hamas has denied those allegations and has accused Israel of undermining the agreement through continued military action.
The latest incident comes as negotiations over the remaining parts of the ceasefire agreement continue. Discussions have focused on issues including Hamas' disarmament and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Gaza health officials said at least 1,400 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the October ceasefire. Israel says four of its soldiers have been killed by militants in Gaza during the same period.
The continued violence has raised concerns about the durability of the ceasefire and efforts to reach a longer-term political settlement. Both sides continue to accuse the other of violating the agreement.
The latest deaths are likely to add further pressure on mediators seeking to preserve the ceasefire and advance negotiations aimed at ending the conflict.
