Israeli strikes kill three people including two brothers in Gaza, medics say

CAIRO: Israeli airstrikes killed three Palestinians, including two brothers, in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, local health officials said.

Medics said one man was killed when an Israeli airstrike hit the rooftop of a residential building in Gaza City. Another airstrike in the nearby Sheikh Radwan neighborhood killed two brothers, Mahmoud and Jamil Al-Absi, at a tent housing displaced people.

Commenting on the two strikes, the Israeli military said it struck militants it described as terrorists in both ⁠areas, without giving further ⁠details.

A US-brokered ceasefire last year called for the eventual reconstruction of Gaza, but little progress has been made.
