Two other citizens were killed and several others injured when a drone bombed a group of civilians in the Jhar al-Dik area in the central strip, the official Wafa news agency reported.

In the southern city of Rafah, one Palestinian was shot dead by the military and eight others were injured in a drone strike on a tent in the al-Shakoush area.

According to official figures, at least 150 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the coastal enclave since the ceasefire took effect on 19 January.

The total death toll from the neighbouring country’s aggression against Gaza, which began in October, has exceeded 48,500, while the number of wounded is close to 112,000. mh/nmr/rob
