The Israeli military attacked the Gaza Strip for a third day on Thursday night, killing two people, the Palestinian Authority's official news agency said, in another test of a fragile ceasefire agreement.
One Palestinian was killed by Israeli shelling and another was shot dead by Israeli forces, WAFA said on Friday.
The Israeli military did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.
A third Palestinian died of wounds sustained from previous Israeli shelling, the news agency reported.
The U.S.-brokered ceasefire, which left thorny issues like the disarmament of Hamas and a timeline for Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip unresolved, has been tested by periodic outbreaks of violence since it came into place three weeks ago.
Between Tuesday and Wednesday, Israel retaliated for the death of an Israeli soldier with bombardments that Gaza health authorities said killed 104 people including women and children.
Meanwhile the Israeli military has confirmed the identity of the latest deceased hostages returned by Hamas under the ceasefire deal.
In a post on X, IDF named them as Amiram Cooper who was 84 at the time of his death and Sahar Baruch who died at 25.
The post says that both men were abducted alive but killed in captivity and that the families of deceased have been informed of their return for burial.
It means that the remains of 11 deceased hostages are still held inside Gaza, one of whom is an Israeli soldier whose body has been held since 2014 when he was killed in combat in the Strip.
Nine of the 11 are Israelis, one is Tanzanian and one is Thai.
