Health officials report that two Palestinians were killed and 12 others injured Sunday when an Israeli airstrike hit a Gaza cafe filled with people celebrating public holidays.
Israeli officials have not yet responded to requests for comment about the incident.
A ceasefire agreement negotiated by U.S. President Donald Trump in October has not stopped Israeli military operations in Gaza.
Israel and Hamas remain at an impasse in indirect negotiations regarding the implementation of the second phase of the agreement, which would involve the group’s disarmament and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Under the current ceasefire terms, Israel maintains control over more than half of Gaza’s territory, while Hamas governs a narrow strip along the coast. Sunday’s targeted cafe was located at Gaza’s emergency seaport, which consists of a temporary floating dock positioned offshore.
Gaza health officials report that approximately 900 Palestinians have died in Israeli military operations since the truce took effect, though these figures do not separate military combatants from civilians.
During this same timeframe, the country’s military reports that four Israeli soldiers have been killed by militants.
