Palestinians in Gaza City bid farewell on Thursday (March 19) to four people killed in Israeli strikes on the enclave, according to Gaza medics.
While Israeli attacks in Gaza declined in the days after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28, according to residents, medics, and analysts, they have since started to rise again.
On Thursday, two Israeli airstrikes killed at least four Palestinians and wounded some others in two separate incidents in Gaza City, local health officials said. There was no immediate comment from Israel.
The territory's health ministry says that nearly 680 people have been killed by Israeli fire since the October ceasefire. Israel said four soldiers were killed by militants in Gaza in the same period.
Israel and Hamas have traded blame for truce violations.
