At least two more Palestinians have been killed and another was wounded by Israeli fire across the Gaza Strip as the regime continues its near-daily violations of a ceasefire agreement with Palestinian resistance factions.

Medical sources said that Mohammed Salah Abu Rukba, 33, was shot dead by Israeli forces in the Zikim area northwest of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

Another Palestinian, Ahmad Imran Al-Qanou, was killed by Israeli fire on Masoud Street in the town of Jabalia, also in northern Gaza.

The bodies of those killed in the cities of Jabalia and Beit Lahiya were transported on Friday to al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City.

In southern Gaza, Israeli forces destroyed a four-story residential building in central Khan Yunis at dawn, wounding at least one Palestinian and displacing its residents.

Israeli fire was also reported east of Rafah and in several areas of Gaza City, including an airstrike on an open area in Sheikh Ajleen, southwest of the city, as well as demolitions east of Gaza City and intense gunfire toward eastern Jabalia camp and the Tuffah neighborhood.

Elsewhere, in the central besieged region, several Israeli tanks and engineering vehicles advanced east of Deir el-Balah, bulldozing and conducting so-called clearing operations in the area.

The attacks come two days after Israel killed about two dozen Palestinians on Wednesday, one of the deadliest days since the Gaza US-brokered "ceasefire" began in early October.

Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire deal despite a January announcement by the US administration that the second phase of the agreement had begun. That phase includes additional Israeli withdrawals from Gaza and the launch of reconstruction efforts, which the United Nations estimates will cost about 70 billion dollars.

Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect, Israeli forces have committed hundreds of violations, resulting in the killing of at least 574 Palestinians and the injury of 1,518 others.

The truce agreement followed Israel`s genocidal war on Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, and lasted more than two years.

The genocide has left about 72,000 Palestinians killed, over 171,000 wounded, and caused widespread destruction, with approximately 90 percent of Gaza`s civilian infrastructure damaged.

Palestinians were blocked to trickle across the Rafah border in either direction.

While strikes ripped through Gaza, health officials reported that Israel had also stopped medical patients crossing the Rafah border crossing to Egypt. The crossing had partly reopened on Monday, allowing a trickle of limited number of Palestinians to cross for the first time in months.

To date, only a few dozen people have been allowed to enter and leave the war-devastated coastal region.

Sources, citing the Red Crescent, said there were currently no plans for any movement at the crossing on Friday.

Meanwhile, the pace of medical evacuations since the crossing`s partial reopening has been slower than the numbers promised, and far short of what was required to meet the needs of the approximately 20,000 patients in need of medical treatment in other countries.

Reopening the crossing was one of the requirements under the October ceasefire.

In January, the Trump administration declared the start of the second phase of the ceasefire in which the sides would negotiate the shattered territory`s future governance and reconstruction.

Key issues, such as the withdrawal of Israeli forces from more than 50% of Gaza that they occupy, remain unresolved, while the fragile ceasefire has been marked by near-daily violence.
