Nepal, April 15 -- Gaza's civil defence agency said on Tuesday that a toddler was among 10 people killed in separate Israeli strikes in the northern part of the Palestinian territory.

Violence continues despite a ceasefire in the Gaza war that came into effect on October 10, with both Israel and Hamas regularly accusing each other of violations.

Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the civil defence agency, which operates as a rescue service under Hamas authority, said "four people were killed, including a child and several others were injured... in a strike targeting a police vehicle" in Gaza City.

He identified the child as three-year-old Yahya al-Mallahi.

Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital confirmed receiving the bodies of the dead.
