Israeli airstrikes continued in Gaza for a second straight day on Sunday, killing at least 13 Palestinians, despite US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a breakthrough in efforts to implement last year’s Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Trump’s assertion Thursday that Palestinian Hamas militants and other armed groups had agreed to disarm had raised hopes of a turning point in the conflict.
The Gaza City and Jabalia strikes also targeted “military operatives”, but the military was still reviewing the situation, it added.
At least 1230 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since a ceasefire was reached in October, according to Gaza health authorities.
Four Israeli soldiers were killed over the same period, according to Israeli tallies.
