Four Palestinians were martyred, and others were injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Sunday, according to officials in the medical sector.

The Civil Defense in Gaza announced that Israeli artillery shelling targeted areas east of Khan Younis, confirming in a statement that the bombardment hit the border areas of the town of Abasan al-Kabira.

Earlier, one Palestinian was martyred and another injured due to an attack carried out by an Israeli drone in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, targeting a group of Palestinians in the Al-Bura area.

These events come amid the continued presence of occupation forces in the buffer zone along the Gaza border, following the conclusion of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.
