Three Palestinians have been killed in separate Israeli attacks in Gaza City and Khan Younis, local sources told Anadolu, despite a ceasefire that ostensibly took effect last October.

A Palestinian was killed when an Israeli drone struck his bicycle near the Industrial Junction in Gaza City, a local medical source said on Thursday.

Another Palestinian was killed and several others injured when Israeli forces targeted a tent sheltering displaced people near Khan Younis in southern Gaza, local medical sources said.

Earlier on Thursday, a young Palestinian man was critically injured when an Israeli drone struck a home in the Al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, a source at the nearby al-Shifa Hospital said. The victim later succumbed to his injuries.

Israeli forces also shelled several areas east of Gaza City and Khan Younis, according to an Anadolu correspondent.

In a statement, Gaza’s civil defence authority said its teams had recovered the bodies of 233 Palestinians from beneath the rubble of 20 homes destroyed in earlier Israeli attacks.

Mohammed Abu Dan, who leads a civil defence project to recover victims’ bodies, said the remains were among those of 400 people previously reported missing.

The recovered bodies included those of 73 children and 106 women, he said, adding that the operation was part of the project’s second phase, which began in mid-July amid chronic shortages of equipment and resources.

Israel’s ongoing genocidal actions in Gaza have displaced hundreds of thousands of residents, many of whom have sought refuge in temporary shelters and tents across the enclave.

Since a US-brokered ceasefire ostensibly took effect last October, more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,000 injured, Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Wednesday.

Since October 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza, more than 73,400 Palestinians have been killed and over 174,400 injured in relentless Israeli attacks, most of which have targeted civilian infrastructure.
