GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories: Gaza health officials said Israeli strikes killed five people and wounded several others across the Palestinian territory on Wednesday.

Despite an October ceasefire, Gaza remains gripped by daily violence as Israeli strikes continue, with both the military and Hamas accusing one another of violating the truce. “Five people have been killed since this morning in strikes by the occupation on the Gaza Strip,” reported the civil defence agency, which operates as a rescue service under Hamas.

Gaza City´s Al-Ahli hospital reported receiving “three dead and a number of wounded following an Israeli drone strike on the Zeitoun neighbourhood, southeast of Gaza City”. Two more individuals were killed and more than a dozen wounded in separate Israeli attacks in other parts of the territory, the civil defence agency and hospitals said. One of those two was a Hamas police officer, according to a security source.
