Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least six people, including two children and an Al Jazeera cameraman, Palestinian health officials say. The incident occurs despite a ceasefire reached in October between Israel and Hamas, which multiple outlets describe as largely failing to end near-daily attacks in the territory. According to Gaza officials, one of the Saturday strikes hits an apartment in Gaza City around 2 a.m., with witnesses describing damage and debris. Another report says the first strike hits a house in central Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp without warning and kills three people there, including the cameraman. Al Jazeera identifies the cameraman as Ahmed Wishah. Gaza hospitals and health sources attribute the deaths to the strike and report that Wishah is among the victims. BBC News reports that the Israeli military says it is looking into the incident and has accused Wishah of being a Hamas sniper operative, though it does not provide evidence. ABC Australia also cites Gaza health officials as saying the deaths include children and the cameraman, while citing a higher overall death toll for the latest strikes. The conflict’s broader toll and the status of the ceasefire remain points of disagreement.
