Israeli strikes killed at least nine Palestinians, including five family members, in separate attacks in the Gaza Strip ​on Thursday, health officials said.

Medics said Israeli planes launched ‌strikes on four apartments around the same time before dawn on Thursday, killing at least nine people and wounding 15 others.

One of the strikes ​killed five people in a single family, including the ​parents, medics said.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment ⁠on either of the incidents.

Footage showed a blasted out building ​with furniture inside damaged and burnt. Debris was scattered yards onto ​the road.

A video circulated on Palestinian social media, which Reuters could not immediately verify, showed people going into one apartment set ablaze by an ​Israeli strike to try to recover bodies with blankets in ​their hands.

The ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump has failed to halt Israeli ‌attacks ⁠in Gaza and left Israel in control of over half the enclave.

Indirect talks on implementing the second ​phase of the ​deal, which includes ⁠the group’s disarmament and Israeli army withdrawals, are deadlocked.

Some 930 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since the truce began.
