A US-backed ceasefire is in force between Israel and Hamas more than two years after the war in the Gaza Strip began, but each side has accused the other of violations. Israel said it had targeted a member of Islamic Jihad. The Palestinian fighter group did not immediately comment on the assertion. Witnesses told Reuters they had seen a drone strike a car and set it ablaze. Local medics said four people had been wounded, but there were no immediate reports of deaths. Witnesses said separately that Israeli tanks had shelled eastern areas of Gaza City, the Gaza Strip&#8217;s biggest urban area. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Several Israeli media sites said Israel, in a reversal of a policy of barring entry to foreign forces, had allowed Egyptian officials into the Gaza Strip to help locate the bodies of hostages taken captive in the Hamas-led attack on Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, that triggered the war. As part of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas has said it will return all the hostages it abducted, but the remains of 18 are still in the enclave. The Israeli Prime Minister&#8217;s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JERUSALEM(National Times)- Israeli forces carried out a &#8220;targeted strike&#8221; on an individual in central Gaza who was planning to attack Israeli troops, Israel&#8217;s military said on Saturday.
