GAZA/JERUSALEM, March 11 (Xinhua) -- Four people were killed and 14 others injured by Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip over the past day, health authorities in the Palestinian enclave said on Tuesday.

Health authorities did not disclose the location of the attacks. Palestinian media reported a drone strike on the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza on Tuesday. The official Palestinian news agency WAFA also reported Israeli bombings in Gaza City, airstrikes targeting civilians east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, and an Israeli attack in the town of Al-Shawka, east of Rafah city.

An Israeli military spokesperson said in a statement that a drone strike was conducted against Palestinian militants in central Gaza on Tuesday after identifying "several militants engaged in suspicious activity posing a threat to IDF (Israel Defense Forces) troops."

The strikes were the latest in almost daily Israeli attacks throughout the Palestinian enclave after the first phase of the ceasefire agreement expired on March 1. Negotiations for the next phase, which should secure a permanent ceasefire, remain stalled. Enditem
