According to the Nasser hospital, an Israeli drone strike hit a police checkpoint in the southern city of Khan Younis, killing two men.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
The deaths were the latest among Palestinians since an October ceasefire halted major fighting in Gaza.
More than 650 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since Oct. 11, according to the Strip’s Health Ministry.
The toll of deaths in the Israeli war of genocide on Gaza has exceeded 71,000, most of them women and children, in addition to 170,000 wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The ministry, which is part of the Hamas-led government, maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts.
Almost all the residents of the Strip (more than 90 per cent) have been displaced from their place of residence more than once, and Gaza has turned into a disaster area due to the Israeli war on it for two years.
The Hamas militant group still controls Gaza after more than two years of war against Israel.
An October ceasefire deal stopped major military operations in the Strip.
