An Israeli air strike killed three Palestinian men in the Gaza Strip, medics said on Monday, and there was no sign of progress at renewed ceasefire talks.
Medics said the three men were killed near Bureij camp in the centre of the devastated Palestinian enclave by a missile fired from a drone.
In Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, medics said three people were wounded in another airstrike. Rafah residents have reported frequent fire by Israeli forces deployed in areas adjacent to the border inside the city boundaries.
Israel wants to extend the ceasefire’s first phase, a proposal backed by US envoy Steve Witkoff. Hamas says it will resume freeing captives only under the second phase that was due to begin on 2 March.
“Hamas has complied fully with the agreement, while the occupation (Israel) didn’t comply with some clauses. It (Israel) seeks to foil the agreement and impose new conditions,” Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif Al-Qanoua said on Monday.
