The casualties in Gaza come amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since last October.
Medical sources in Gaza said four Palestinians were killed and at least 16 others wounded in Israeli strikes targeting Gaza City and Khan Younis since early Monday.
According to Nasser Hospital and the Palestine Red Crescent, two Palestinians were killed when an Israeli strike hit a vehicle in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Separately, Al-Shifa Medical Complex reported that a man and his wife were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in southern Gaza City.
The strike, carried out by an Israeli helicopter, ignited a fire in the building. Civil defence teams, assisted by residents, later extinguished the blaze.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement had, as of 27 June, resulted in the deaths of 1,066 Palestinians and injuries to 3,445 others.
The ministry also said that since the outbreak of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, more than 73,000 Palestinians had been killed and over 173,000 wounded, while approximately 90 percent of the territory's civilian infrastructure had been damaged or destroyed.
Teenager killed during raid in Qalandiya
In the occupied West Bank, Palestinians held the funeral of a teenager who was killed by Israeli gunfire during a military raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp, north of Jerusalem.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing the Palestinian Ministry of Health, identified the victim as 16-year-old Walid Nidal Abu Sneineh. The ministry said two other minors were also wounded after being shot in the lower limbs during the raid.
No further details were immediately released regarding the circumstances of the incident. Israeli forces regularly conduct raids on towns and refugee camps across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
According to Al Jazeera's correspondent, Israeli forces arrested three young men during the operation, while snipers deployed on rooftops throughout the camp and opened live fire.
The Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that Israeli forces and settlers carried out 1,659 attacks across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, during May. Of those, 1,108 were attributed to the Israeli military and 551 to Israeli settlers.
The reported attacks included physical assaults, uprooting trees, burning farmland, preventing farmers from accessing their land, seizing property, and demolishing homes and agricultural structures.
According to official Palestinian figures, Israeli military assaults in the occupied West Bank since October 2023 have killed 1,173 Palestinians, injured 12,666 others, led to the arrest of nearly 23,000 people, and displaced approximately 33,000 residents.
