Israeli strikes killed at least five people in Gaza on Saturday, including four members of the same family, according to local health officials.
Israel has violated the October ceasefire on a near-daily basis with constant attacks as progress on permanently ending the war remains stalled.
An overnight Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City killed four members of the al-Safadi family, including the husband, wife and their two daughters, said the civil defence agency.
It said the strike also injured 12 others.
The Israeli military said they stuck a militant, without elaborating.
Gaza City’s Al-Shifa hospital confirmed receiving the bodies of four members of the al-Safadi family, including two children.
The hospital also said it had received another body following a separate Israeli drone strike near an intersection in the north of Gaza City. In another incident, Israeli forces shot and killed a woman in Beit Lahiya town further north.
The Israeli military did not comment on either incident.
At least 1,012 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire was agreed on 10 October, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
The Israeli army has reported five deaths in its ranks during the same period.
