Gaza: Nine Dead, Including Five Children, in Israeli Strikes

Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip have killed nine people, including five children, according to the Palestinian enclave's civil defense, during one of the most violent days since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect. The victims came from various incidents, including a strike on a displaced persons camp and one on a school. The Israeli army said it was investigating the reported incidents, while earlier it had announced that it had hit a target in Gaza in response to a rocket launch. Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. The situation remains fragile and the escalation of clashes is causing concern.
