Gaza鈥檚 civil defence agency said Thursday that at least seven people had been killed in fresh Israeli strikes in the Palestinian territory, hours before Israel鈥檚 cabinet was set to vote on a ceasefire deal.
鈥極ur crew retrieved five dead and more than 10 injured from under the rubble of a house. That was bombed by the Israeli army in the Al-Rimal area west of Gaza City,鈥� the agency said in a statement.
It added that it had retrieved the bodies of two more people killed in a strike at 鈥榯he Al-Sha鈥檅iya intersection in the center of Gaza City鈥�.
The strikes come a day after Qatar and the United States announced a ceasefire and hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas that they hope will pave the way for a permanent end to the war in Gaza.
Israeli media reported that the cabinet was set to vote on the ceasefire agreement Thursday morning.
