Israeli strike kills two people in Gaza, medics say

CAIRO, Oct 12 (Reuters) An Israeli strike killed at least two Palestinians in the southern Gaza Strip on Monday, health ​officials said. The Israeli military said ‌it targeted a militant in the area, without giving further information. Late on Sunday, an Israeli airstrike hit a tent in the Mawasi area of ‌Khan ​Younis in southern Gaza, ⁠killing three people, medics ⁠said. The Israeli military told Reuters on Monday they struck militants in the area. Israel, which says Hamas has been rearming ​and launching attacks in violation of a ceasefire, has stepped up strikes ⁠on the group in ⁠recent weeks. Hamas has denied trying to ​carry out attacks or rebuild its arsenal ​and accuses Israel of undermining the Gaza ‌peace deal. Last year s US-brokered Gaza ceasefire calls for the eventual reconstruction of the territory. But little progress has been made ⁠towards implementing a deal to end the conflict that includes terms for Hamas to disarm and ⁠Israel to ‌withdraw its troops. Gaza health
