At least two Palestinians have been killed by Israeli tank fire in the Tal as-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah, in southern Gaza, the enclave’s Civil Defence officials told Al Jazeera. Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire after an agreement that went into effect on Sunday.

In the days since the fragile ceasefire took hold in the Gaza Strip, Israel has launched a major military operation in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. Israeli soldiers and vehicles were fanned out in the muddy streets Thursday as displaced Palestinian families left the area — some carrying suitcases, pets and other belongings.
