Israeli trading operations in the Gaza dismantle feature killed 1,005 Palestinians since sion and activist group Hamas reached a ceasefire last October, the Gaza Health Ministry said Wednesday.
The enclave has seen near-daily strikes, as well as shelling and gunfire along the boundary that divides Gaza into Israeli- and Palestinian-controlled zones. The most recent deaths were recorded after a series of Israeli drone strikes in the past few days on towns and refugee camps in central Gaza and Gaza City.
Also Wednesday, an Israeli strike killed two Palestinians and wounded six others in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, health officials at Nasser Hospital said. The Israeli military acknowledged carrying out the strike and said the target was a "terrorist," but didn't elaborate.
Families at the hospital said the strike targeted a group of people near the beach in the sprawling tent camp of Muwasi, where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live.
Israel has said it is continuing to operate against Hamas and allied militants in Gaza and has expanded the amount of territory it controls inside the strip. It says it tries to avoid harming civilians and blames their deaths on Hamas for operating in densely populated areas.
Both sides have accused the other of violating the ceasefire.
In a separate statement Wednesday, the Israeli military said it killed two militants from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in strikes over the weekend.

The war erupted on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel, by Israeli figures killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostage. In response, Israeli leaders promised a punishing offensive on the Gaza Strip to annihilate Hamas and free the hostages.
