Israeli airstrikes killed three Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, 11 November, including two brothers who died when a tent housing displaced people was hit, local health officials said. The deaths add to the toll under a US-brokered ceasefire that has held only in part, with reconstruction barely begun. Medics said one man was killed when an airstrike hit the rooftop of a residential building in Gaza City. A second strike in the nearby Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood killed Mahmoud and Jamil Al-Absi at a tent sheltering displaced people. The Israeli military said it had struck militants it described as terrorists in both areas, without giving further details. ## A ceasefire under strain The US-brokered ceasefire agreed last year called for the eventual reconstruction of Gaza, but little progress has been made. Negotiators have been unable to agree terms for Hamas to disarm or for Israel to withdraw its troops, who control about two-thirds of the territory, an area from which the military ordered residents to leave. A day earlier, in Gaza City's Sabra neighbourhood, people inspected the site of a metal foundry and nearby tents after an airstrike that killed three people on Tuesday. The strike destroyed the foundry and set some tents ablaze, leaving displaced families with nothing. One displaced father of two, Hisham Abdou, 32, described finding his family's clothes and his children's belongings destroyed in the fire. ## Each side blames the other Israel says Hamas is trying to regroup and refill its arsenal. Hamas says it is committed to the ceasefire agreement and accuses Israel of trying to undermine it. At least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire agreement, according to the territory's health officials, while Israel says four soldiers have been killed. Palestinian authorities say more than 74,000 people have been killed in Israel's assault on Gaza. Israel launched its offensive after Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel on 7 October 2023, according to Israeli tallies.
