Eight people were killed in attacks targeting residential areas in Gaza City. The neighbourhoods hit lie far beyond the line Israeli forces are meant to hold under the ceasefire agreement.

The scope of the strike has renewed questions over how strictly the truce is actually being observed. Regional observers say a rise in attacks beyond the agreed line puts the ceasefire's future at risk.

The rising civilian toll is adding pressure on international mediators. Humanitarian organizations repeated their call for an immediate halt to strikes on residential areas.
