CAIRO: An Israeli airstrike on a police vehicle on Sunday killed three people in the middle of the ​Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, health officials ‌said, hours after another person was killed in a strike on northern Gaza.Medics and police sources said the three men killed in Nuseirat ​were members of the Hamas-led police force.Ten people ​were also wounded in the attack, medics said.Earlier on ⁠Sunday a separate airstrike killed one person – identified as a ​leader of one of Fatah group- and injured an ​unknown number of others in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza.The Israeli military said it was checking on the two incidents.While Israeli ​attacks in Gaza declined in the days after the U.S. ​and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28, according to residents, ‌medics ⁠and analysts, they have since begun to rise again. Israeli fire has killed dozens of Palestinians since the outbreak of the Iran war, Gaza health officials say.In Gaza there have ​been regular outbreaks ​of violence ⁠since a ceasefire went into effect in October following two years of devastating war triggered ​by Hamas-led attacks in Israel in October 2023.The ​territory’s ⁠health ministry says that at least 680 people have been killed by Israeli fire since the October ceasefire. Israel said four ⁠soldiers ​were killed by militants in Gaza in ​the same period.Israel and Hamas have traded blame for truce violations.
