Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed five people, including two children, according to Palestinian officials, despite a so-called ceasefire in the war-ravaged territory.

Seven-year-old Wafaa Aqila and her father were killed by an Israeli strike on a vehicle they were travelling in after buying school supplies, just days before she was due to start the new school year, the Palestinian Ministry of Education said in a statement on Sunday.

Hours later, an Israeli artillery attack hit the Sakina School, which is serving as a shelter for displaced people in Deir el-Balah, killing Saadi Ghalia, a first-grade student.

The Palestinian Ministry of Education condemned the attacks, saying that while children around the world prepare for a new school year, in Gaza, children are subjected to “killing and annihilation”.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported on Monday that at least five Palestinians were killed and 30 others wounded in the past 24 hours, while two Palestinians died after succumbing to their wounds sustained in previous Israeli attacks.

At least 1,352 people have been killed and 4,511 others wounded since the “ceasefire” took effect in October, according to Health Ministry tallies. At least 73,658 Palestinians have been killed and 174,622 others wounded since Israel launched its genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023.

据巴勒斯坦官员称，尽管在饱受战争蹂躏的加沙地带达成了所谓的停火协议，但以色列对加沙的袭击已造成五人死亡，其中包括两名儿童。

巴勒斯坦教育部周日发表声明称，七岁的瓦法·阿基拉和她的父亲在购买完学习用品后乘坐的车辆遭到以色列空袭身亡，当时距离她新学年开始仅剩几天时间。

数小时后，以色列炮兵袭击了代尔巴拉赫的萨基纳学校，该校当时是流离失所者的避难所，一年级学生萨阿迪·加利亚不幸身亡。

巴勒斯坦教育部谴责了这些袭击，称当世界各地的儿童都在为新学年做准备时，加沙的儿童却遭受了“杀戮和灭绝”。

加沙卫生部周一报告称，过去 24 小时内至少有 5 名巴勒斯坦人丧生，另有 30 人受伤，还有 2 名巴勒斯坦人在之前以色列袭击中受伤后不治身亡。

据卫生部统计，自10月份“停火”生效以来，至少有1352人丧生，4511人受伤。自2023年10月以色列在加沙地带发动针对巴勒斯坦人的种族灭绝战争以来，至少有73658名巴勒斯坦人丧生，174622人受伤。
