Israeli strike kills at least two Palestinians in southern Gaza

An Israeli strike killed at least two Palestinians in southern Gaza on Monday, according to health officials.

Israel's military said it targeted a militant but gave no further details.

Israel says Hamas has been rearming and carrying out attacks despite a ceasefire, while Hamas denies this and accuses Israel of undermining the peace deal.

The ceasefire, brokered by the United States last year, includes plans for Gaza's eventual reconstruction.

But little progress has been made on a wider deal that would include Hamas disarming and Israeli troops withdrawing.

Gaza health officials say at least 1,400 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire began, while Israel says four of its soldiers have been killed by militants in Gaza.

The latest strike comes as the ceasefire's terms remain largely unimplemented.
