Khan younis: An Israeli airstrike on Abasan Al Kabira, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, claimed the lives of two Palestinians Thursday.
According to Qatar News Agency, eyewitnesses said the victims, two brothers, were among residents inspecting their damaged homes when Israeli forces launched the attack.
The Ministry of Health reported that hospitals received 29 fatalities in the past 24 hours, including 22 pulled from rubble, 3 who died of wounds, and 4 killed in direct strikes. Ten others sustained various injuries.
A ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect last Friday, following the withdrawal of Israeli troops from populated zones and the return of displaced families to northern Gaza.
The truce marks the first phase of President Donald Trump’s initiative to end the conflict.
