An Israeli airstrike in central Gaza has killed three people, including an eight-year-old boy, according to reports from Al Jazeera and the Cyprus Mail.
The strike targeted a tent, adding to the toll of civilian casualties in an area where hostilities have continued intermittently.
The incident highlights the fragility of the current security arrangement.
Despite a ceasefire agreement reached in October, Israeli forces have maintained a presence and conducted near-daily strikes in parts of the Gaza Strip.
Gaza’s Health Ministry has recorded more than 1,045 Palestinian deaths since the truce was established, indicating that the conflict has not fully abated.
For markets, such developments serve as a reminder of the underlying geopolitical risks in the Middle East.
