The attack took place before dawn in an eastern neighbourhood of Gaza City, the territory's largest urban area, said the civil defence agency.
"An Israeli airstrike before dawn killed four and wounded several," it reported.
Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital confirmed the toll, saying the strike was carried out by an Israeli drone.
"Four martyrs and five wounded arrived at the hospital this morning after an Israeli drone fired two missiles at a group of civilians," the hospital said in a statement.
Despite a ceasefire being in effect, Israel has continued to launch strikes across Gaza, killing at least 716 people since the truce took hold on October 10, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
In total tally, Israel has killed at least 72,292 Palestinians and wounded 172,073 others since the start of its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, the ministry said on Sunday.
Many victims remain under the rubble and scattered on the roads, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews.
