The Israeli military struck an apartment in Gaza before dawn on Tuesday, killing two people and injuring others. The two people killed were a man and his wife, according to Shifa Hospital, which received the bodies. The Israeli military said it struck a Hamas fighter. The attack followed a series of strikes on Monday that killed at least four people. They came more than a year after Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire. But the death toll in Gaza continues to rise as Israel carries out near-daily strikes on what it says are members of Hamas.
