GAZA: An Israeli air strike killed three Palestinian men in the Gaza Strip, medics said on Monday, and there was no sign of progress at renewed ceasefire talks. Medics said the three men were killed near Bureij camp in the centre of the devastated Palestinian enclave by a missile fired from a drone. Israel's military did not immediately comment.
In Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, medics said three people were wounded in another air strike. Rafah residents have reported frequent fire by Israeli forces deployed in areas adjacent to the border inside the city boundaries. The persistent bloodshed underscores the fragility of a three-stage ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States. Israel's subsequent assault on Gaza has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials, displaced most of the population and reduced much of the territory to rubble. — AFP
