15 people killed in Gaza by Israeli strikes: Health authorities

Gaza/Jerusalem, Mar 17 (UNI) At least 15 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were killed by Israeli military strikes over the past 24 hours, the enclave's health authorities said on Sunday.

Among the dead, nine people were killed on Saturday by Israeli drone attacks in northern Gaza, which targeted a group of people in Beit Lahia and bombed a vehicle, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

The Israel Defence Forces confirmed its attack on Beit Lahia in a statement, saying the targets were "terrorists."

Israeli forces have recently intensified airstrikes in Gaza amid uncertainty over the durability of a phased ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas in January.

The first six-week phase of the deal expired on March 1, and negotiations on the second phase remain stalled.

The death toll from Israeli attacks in Gaza since the start of the conflict on Oct. 7, 2023, has topped 48,000, with more than 111,000 others injured, according to the latest data from the Gaza-based health authorities.
