An Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip targeted a group of fighters from Palestinian resistance group Islamic Jihad on Thursday, the Israeli army has said.
"Moments ago, 6 Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists that were about to launch rockets at Israel were targeted," the army said on its Twitter account.
Islamic Jihad, for its part, has not confirmed the attack.
Israel resumed airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday following the collapse of Egypt-hosted indirect negotiations aimed at striking a permanent ceasefire deal.
While Israel accused Palestinian resistance factions of violating the ceasefire with a rocket barrage, Hamas accused the self-proclaimed Jewish state of attempting to derail ceasefire talks in Cairo.
Since hostilities began on July 7, at least 2069 Palestinians have been killed – the vast majority of them civilians – and more than 10,000 injured by relentless Israeli attacks across the embattled coastal territory.
According to Israeli figures, at least 67 Israelis – 64 soldiers and three civilians – have been killed over the same period.
