Three Palestinians, including two children, were killed and several injured Saturday in attacks carried out in various parts of the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire.
A medical source told Anadolu that two teenagers from the Al-Zawara family, Salman Zakaria, 14, and Mohammed Youssef, 15, were killed when an Israeli bomb exploded near Kamal Adwan Hospital in the Beit Lahia project area.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on the two boys in an area from which the Israeli army had previously withdrawn under the terms of the agreement.
Earlier, a source in ambulance and emergency services told Anadolu that several Palestinians were injured in an Israeli strike targeting Old Gaza Street in the town of Jabalia in northern Gaza, an area the Israeli army had also withdrawn from under the agreement.
In another incident, a medical source said a Palestinian man was injured by Israeli gunfire in the Al-Salateen area of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.
Meanwhile, a Palestinian was killed in an Israeli strike that targeted the Qizan al-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis, according to medical sources who spoke to Anadolu.

On Saturday morning, a medical source reported that a Palestinian man was injured in the head by Israeli gunfire in central Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Witnesses said an Israeli quadcopter drone opened fire near the Jasser Building intersection in the city center.
The Israeli army has killed more than 71,600 people, most of them women and children, and injured over 171,300 in a brutal offensive since October 2023 that left Gaza in ruins.
Despite a ceasefire that began on Oct. 10, Israel has continued carrying out attacks, killing 481 Palestinians and wounding 1,313, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
