"Israel has launched intense artillery and helicopter attacks on southern Gaza despite a United States-brokered ceasefire, bombing a tent housing displaced Palestinians and killing a five-year-old girl and her uncle, according to officials. The killings on Monday brought the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the truce came into effect in October to at least 422, according to Gaza health authorities."
"The Nasser Medical Complex in southern Khan Younis said the deadly Israeli strike hit a tent in the coastal al-Mawasi area, and that four others, including children, were also wounded. Israel's military said it struck a Hamas fighter who was planning to attack Israeli forces in the immediate timeframe. But the military did not provide evidence for the claim, and it was not clear if its statement referred to the tent attack."
"The Palestinian Civil Defence said on Monday that another Palestinian home damaged in earlier Israeli strikes collapsed in the central Maghazi camp, killing a 29-year-old father and his eight-year-old son. But the rescue service said in a subsequent statement that it was unable to respond to requests to remove hazards caused by damaged buildings because of a lack of equipment and continuing fuel shortages."

Gaza health authorities reported at least 422 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the truce began in October. The Nasser Medical Complex said four others, including children, were wounded in the al-Mawasi tent strike. Israel's military claimed to have struck a Hamas fighter planning an imminent attack but provided no evidence. Continued near-daily attacks and restrictions on humanitarian aid coincide with massive destruction and widespread displacement, and rescue services report equipment and fuel shortages.
