Israeli attacks pounded targets across Gaza on Sunday and Monday, killing at least seven Palestinians and wounding 17, according to the daily update from Gaza’s Health Ministry.

One strike on Monday targeted a bicycle in Gaza City, killing one person and critically injuring a child, according to the Quds News Network. QNN put the 24-hour death toll higher than the Health Ministry, saying that 10 Palestinians were killed by Israeli attacks over the past day.

The Palestinian news network said that Israeli attacks on Sunday included the targeting of a group of civilians in Gaza City, where three were killed, and the bombing of a UN vehicle, which killed a 54-year-old driver of the car. Local sources also told QNN that at least four people were killed by the Israeli bombing of a home in the Bureij refugee camp.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA also reported Israeli attacks in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, on Monday, where it said at least one person in a vehicle was killed by Israeli fire.

The Health Ministry said that since the so-called “ceasefire” deal was signed in early October, Israeli attacks have killed at least 723 Palestinians and wounded 1,990. “A number of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews have been unable to reach them so far,” the ministry said.

There’s been no progress on implementing President Trump’s Gaza plan as Israel continues to occupy more than 50% of the territory. The US and Israel continue to demand that Hamas give up its weapons, but Hamas’s armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said on Sunday that disarmament won’t be discussed until Israel fulfills its obligations under the ceasefire agreement.
