Israeli airstrikes and gunfire killed five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, health officials said, the latest violence to undermine a four-month-old, U.S.-brokered ceasefire in the enclave.

In Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza, an airstrike killed two people who were riding an electric bike, medics said. Later, Israeli drone fire killed a woman in Deir Al-Balah and troops shot dead a man in Khan Younis in the south, they said. Another man was killed by Israeli gunfire in Jabalia in north Gaza, Palestinian medics said.

Gaza's Health Ministry on Tuesday said reported 586 Palestinians had been killed since the start of the ceasefire, bringing the cumulative toll to 72,037 killed since the start of Israel's offensive.

This comes amid international outrage over Israel's plans to tighten its grip over the occupied West Bank, with the United Nations chief saying he was "gravely concerned". A US official said President Donald Trump opposes West Bank annexation and wants stability.
