Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 11:32 · Archive

An Israeli military strike on a Gaza apartment killed two people before dawn on Tuesday. The two people killed were a man and his wife, according to Shifa Hospital, which received the bodies. The Israeli military said it targeted a Hamas militant, though the outlet did not specify whether the person killed was that militant.

The attack followed a series of strikes on Monday that killed at least four people. The strikes came more than a year after Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire, though the agreement has not stopped military operations.

Death tolls in Gaza continue to rise as Israel carries out near-daily strikes on what it says are members of Hamas. More than 1,500 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel since the ceasefire agreement, according to the territory's health ministry, which maintains detailed records and is seen as generally reliable by United Nations agencies and independent experts.
