CAIRO: An Israeli airstrike killed at least two Palestinians and wounded 12 ​on Sunday at a Gaza cafe ‌that was packed with people celebrating public holidays, health officials said.

There was no immediate Israeli ​comment.

An October ceasefire, brokered by US President ​Donald Trump, has failed to halt Israeli ⁠attacks in Gaza.

Israel and Hamas are ​deadlocked in indirect talks over implementing the ​second phase of the deal, which includes the group’s disarmament and Israeli army withdrawals.

The ceasefire left Israel ​in control of more than half ​of Gaza, with Hamas controlling a sliver of ‌coastal ⁠territory. The cafe struck on Sunday was on the emergency seaport in Gaza, a floating dock off the coast that was ​meant to ​be ⁠temporary.

Some 900 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since the ​truce came into effect, according ​to ⁠figures from Gaza health officials that do not distinguish between combatants and civilians.

Four Israeli ⁠soldiers ​have been killed by militants ​during the same period, the country’s military has said.
