Israeli attacks kill Palestinians in Gaza, including a father and his son

Israeli attacks killed Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, including a father and his 13-year-old son, according to local health sources.

The father and boy were killed in an air attack on a displacement shelter in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, while another man was killed by gunfire in Khan Younis.

Accounts differ on the death toll: one report said at least three people were killed, while another said at least six, including three in an attack on a home in Gaza City.

The attacks happened despite a US-brokered ceasefire agreed last year.

Gaza health officials say more than 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, and more than 74,000 have died in the war that began on October 7, 2023.

Negotiators have not agreed on Hamas disarming or Israeli troop withdrawal, and Israeli forces control about two-thirds of Gaza, according to the reports.

The sources say talks have made no progress on those terms, with no further steps announced.
