An Israeli drone attack killed a Palestinian man and wounded two near a refugee camp in central Gaza on Saturday, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa said.
More than 980 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes since a ceasefire came into effect in October, which was aimed at halting the Gaza war, according to official Palestinian data.
Israel has occupied large areas of Gaza. However, the Palestinian militant group Hamas has remained in control of some areas.
The drone struck "a group of citizens near the entrance" of Al Bureij camp, Wafa reported. There was no immediate comment from Israel.
In the West Bank, Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian village near Ramallah at the weekend, wounding four people. Wafa said, in the latest incident of violence in the occupied area.
Attacks by settlers in the territory have risen since the start in October 2023 of the Gaza war, which has emboldened extremist Israeli factions who want to illegally annex the West Bank.
Settlers on Friday attacked residents of the village of Deir Meshaal, north-west of Ramallah, with knives and sticks, Wafa reported. One of the four wounded was in a "dangerous condition", according to a local administration official.
The attack occurred after a villager from Deir Meshaal "succeeded" in dismantling a tent that settlers had erected on Palestinian land near the village, Wafa reported. Last week, the Israeli army removed the tent, but the settlers erected it again, according to Wafa.
On Saturday, settlers attacked a home near another village on the outskirts of Ramallah, "as part of the violations against Bedouin concentrations" in the area, Wafa reported.
Settlement expansion and settler attacks on Palestinian communities in the West Bank have reached historic highs. Local authorities say 1,200 Palestinians have been killed in raids by the Israeli army on towns and cities during military operations, as well as settler attacks. Israel claims its offensive is aimed at militants.
Israel has also taken measures against civilians, widely seen as punitive, such as withholding tax revenue collected by Israel on behalf of the Palestinian Authority and restricting access of Palestinian labour to the Israeli market, where wages are significantly higher than in the West Bank.
The Palestinian UN mission in Geneva said that the West Bank is witnessing "unprecedented deterioration" due to Israeli attacks, whether by settlers or the army, causing "widespread damage" to infrastructure and property.
The Israeli army also infiltrated Bethlehem overnight, establishing positions across the city, echoing raids carried out in other villages around Nablus and the Qalqilya governorate.
The pressure on the West Bank has strained Israel's ties with Jordan, one of two Arab countries with a peace treaty with Israel.
The kingdom, a long-time US ally and a major recipient of American aid, has repeatedly denounced what it regards as increasing Israeli belligerence in the West Bank. However, security contacts have continued between the two sides. A large proportion of the kingdom's population is of Palestinian origin.
