Israeli fire killed three Palestinians in two separate incidents across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, while a drone strike wounded four civilians in Gaza City, according to local health officials.
Medical teams reported that Israeli fire killed two people east of the Tuffah neighbourhood in northern Gaza. In a separate incident, a 41-year-old man died in Khan Younis, located in the south of the enclave.
Earlier in the day, medics said an Israeli drone detonated on the rooftop of a multi-storey building in Gaza City. The blast injured four civilians who were standing in the street nearby.
An Israeli military spokesperson said they had no information regarding a fatal shooting in Khan Younis. The spokesperson also did not immediately comment on the reported incident in Tuffah.

Health authorities in Gaza report that more than 71,000 people have been killed since the conflict escalated nearly two years ago. They also say at least 480 people have died since a ceasefire agreement came into effect last October.
Israel and Hamas continue to accuse each other of violating the truce. Earlier this month, Washington said the ceasefire had entered a second phase. The plan includes a further Israeli troop withdrawal and a transition in Gaza’s civil administration.
In Khan Younis, more than 100 people attended the funeral of a man killed by drone fire on Saturday. Mourners gathered at Nasser Hospital, where prayers were held before burial. Relatives of the deceased expressed anger during the funeral, questioning the durability of the ceasefire.
