Al Jazeera reports that Israeli jets attacked a target in southern Gaza in the latest violation of the fragile ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

“Two suspects who were identified in proximity to troops and posed a threat to them were struck by an aircraft in southern Gaza in order to remove the threat,” the army told AFP, adding “hits were identified”.

Nasser Hospital in southern Khan Younis said in a statement that it received the body of a Palestinian killed in an air strike. “Ambulance crews in Rafah recovered a martyr after he was targeted in an air strike by [Israel] west of Rafah city,” the hospital said.
