Gaza, March 13 (QNA) - Three Palestinians were martyred Friday in an Israeli airstrike that targeted them east of Gaza City.

Medical sources reported that three Palestinians, including two boys, were killed when Israeli warplanes targeted a group of Palestinians near Mushtaha Street in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel came into effect on October 10, following the withdrawal of the Israeli army from its positions and populated areas in the Gaza Strip and the start of the return of displaced persons to the northern part of the Strip. This was part of the first phase of US President Donald Trump's initiative to end the war on Gaza. (QNA)
