At least four Palestinians, including a boy and his pregnant mother, were killed by an Israeli airstrike on Sunday in the war-torn Gaza Strip, hospital authorities said.

The strike hit a house in Nuseirat, an urban refugee camp in central Gaza, killing a couple and their young son, according to the nearby Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

The fourth fatality was taken to the Awda hospital in Nuseirat.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

The deaths were the latest fatalities among Palestinians in the besieged coastal enclave since an October ceasefire deal attempted to halt Israel's two-year genocidal war on Gaza, which has killed over 72,000 Palestinians.

Israeli forces have violated the ceasefire on a near-daily basis, carrying out deadly airstrikes and attacks and killing more than 650 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials.

About half of those killed have been women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
