CAIRO, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed at least seven Palestinians, including a father and his 13-year-old son, in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, local health officials said.
Medics said Fadi Rajab and his son Abubakr were killed in an airstrike that hit the roof of a displacement shelter in the Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City. A third Palestinian was killed in an Israeli airstrike near a school in Gaza City's Daraj neighbourhood, health officials added.
The Israeli military said it struck militants in both areas, without giving further details.
In Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, Israeli gunfire killed a man, medics said.
Later on Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike hit a metal foundry in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, killing three people, medics said, taking the day's death toll to at least seven.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incidents in Khan Younis or the Sabra neighbourhood.
A US-brokered ceasefire last year called for the eventual reconstruction of Gaza, but little progress has been made. Negotiators have been unable to agree on terms for Hamas to disarm or for Israel to withdraw its troops, which control about two-thirds of the territory and from which residents have been ordered to leave.
Israel says Hamas is trying to regroup and refill its arsenal.
