CAIRO: Israeli strikes killed at least six people in the Gaza Strip in separate attacks on Tuesday, health officials said, in the latest violence overshadowing a fragile five-month-old US-brokered ceasefire deal.

Medics said an Israeli airstrike in Jabalia, north of the enclave, killed at least three people earlier in the day, while another airstrike killed a father and his son in Khan Younis, in the south.

Later on Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike against a group of Palestinians near a police checkpoint in the Mawasi area in the southern Gaza Strip killed at least one person and wounded eight others, health officials said. There was no Israeli comment on any of the incidents.
