Israeli strikes killed 10 people in Gaza, civil defence agency said on Tuesday (Apr 14) one among the deceased was a toddler. Despite the ceasefire that came into effect on October 10, the bombardment continues. Both parties Israel and Hamas are regularly accusing the other of violations.
Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the civil defence agency, which operates as a rescue service under Hamas authority, said "four people were killed, including a child and several others were injured... in a strike targeting a police vehicle" in Gaza City. He identified the child as three-year-old Yahya al-Mallahi.
Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital confirmed receiving the bodies of the dead.

Contacted by AFP, the Israeli army said it was looking into the details. In a statement, Gaza's interior ministry said Israeli warplanes had "targeted a police vehicle" in the city centre, "causing several deaths and injuries". Bassal also said another person had been killed by Israeli fire in the northern Beit Lahia area earlier on Tuesday.
The military said in a statement that its troops had identified an "armed terrorist" in the area of the so-called Yellow Line -- behind which its forces have withdrawn -- who approached their position.
