Israeli Strikes in Gaza Kill Two, Defying Truce

Two Palestinians were killed and others were wounded by Israeli fire in Gaza on Monday. This occurred despite an active ceasefire agreement. The Israeli military targeted areas in the center and south of the Gaza Strip. These are zones where civilians had been told to evacuate for their safety under the truce terms. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on the incidents. The reported strikes are viewed as violations of the temporary humanitarian pause in fighting. The ceasefire, which began last week, had brought a halt to widespread hostilities. These latest events threaten the fragile calm.
