    At least nine Palestinians were killed, including two local journalists, and others wounded on Saturday (March 15) in an Israeli air strike on Gaza's northern Beit Lahiya town, Gaza's health ministry said, as Hamas' leaders hold Gaza ceasefire talks with mediators in Cairo.
    Victims of the attack were shrouded in white cloth as mourners gathered around their bodies. A family member of one of the victims, Adel Abdel Rahma said his son was just 17 years old and had "nothing to do with anything".
    The Israeli military said in a statement that it had struck two individuals that it identified as "terrorists" without providing detail on how that was determined.
    The incident underscores the fragility of the January 19 ceasefire agreement that halted large-scale fighting in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian health officials say dozens of people have been killed by Israeli fire despite the truce.
