Two Israeli air strikes on two checkpoints of the Palestinian police force killed ​at least six Palestinians, including a child, ‌local health officials said, in the latest round of Israeli violence despite a US-brokered ceasefire that is now ​more than five months old.

Medics said Israeli ​planes attacked two police checkpoints in Khan ⁠Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, killing ​three policemen and three civilians, including a girl, ​and wounding four others.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the recent strikes.

The military has killed ​over 680 Palestinians in Gaza since a ​ceasefire came into effect in November, local health ‌officials ⁠say.

More than 72,000 have been killed since the war started in October 2023.

Israel is now also waging a war, alongside the US, ​against Iran, ​and is ⁠carrying out a new campaign in Lebanon in which Israeli forces have ​invaded southern Lebanon.

Violence in Gaza has ​persisted ⁠despite the ceasefire and amid Israel’s war with Iran.

Health officials in the territory say at ⁠least ​50 Palestinians have been killed ​by Israeli forces since the Iran conflict began a month ​ago.
