Gaza (QNN)- At least six Palestinians were killed on Thursday in an Israeli strike targeting a home in central Gaza, in a “flagrant and repeated breach” of the ceasefire agreement, bringing the death toll from Israeli attacks since the morning to eight.

According to local sources, an Israeli airstrike targeted the family home of Al-Houli in Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza, killing six, including Al-Qassam Brigades commander Abu Fouad Al-Houli and a 15-year-old girl, and injuring several others.

Earlier, the Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack in Rafah over the past 24 hours.
In response, Hamas said Israel committed a “new crime this evening by bombing the home of the Al-Houli family.. This heinous crime and the repeated attacks against Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, constitutes a blatant and repeated violation of the ceasefire agreement.”
It added that the attack “once again confirms that the fascist occupation does not adhere to the agreement and is deliberately working to undermine it, paving the way for the resumption of its genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza.”
It “further demonstrates war criminal Netanyahu’s blatant disregard for the ceasefire agreement reached under US sponsorship and guaranteed by the mediators.”
The attack comes one day after the US announced the start of the second phase of Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan, saying phase one “delivered historic humanitarian aid and maintained the ceasefire”, despite Israel having violated the agreement more than 1,200 times, killing hundreds of civilians and blocking much-needed aid from entering the enclave.
The Gaza Government Media Office said on Thursday that at least 449 Palestinians have been killed and 1,246 others wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire began.
