Israel kills eight in Gaza as ceasefire violations continue a year on

Israeli forces killed at least eight Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday as ceasefire violations continued a year after the agreement was signed.

An Israeli air strike hit a civilian transport vehicle in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood of western Gaza City, killing five people and wounding 15 others, including women and children.

The strike hit a cart attached to a minibus used to transport passengers amid severe fuel shortages and soaring transport costs across the enclave.

Such vehicles are often packed with dozens of people travelling between different areas of the Strip.
