Seven people were killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza on Tuesday, according to the territory’s Civil Defense.

The Civil Defense reports that two people were killed in an area of ​​Gaza City, one of whom was a 13-year-old boy.

Three more people were killed in an attack on what is described as a blacksmith’s workshop, while a sixth person was killed in an attack on a tent housing people displaced from their homes.

A seventh Palestinian was “killed by the occupying power (Israel) near Khan Yunis in southern Gaza,” according to the Civil Defense in the Hamas-controlled territory.

The Israeli military states that it has “struck military targets in several locations,” without providing further details.

More than 1,500 people are reported to have been killed in Israeli attacks over the past year, during a period when a formal ceasefire was supposed to be in effect in Gaza.
