The civil defense agency, operating as a rescue service subordinate to Hamas, stated that the remains of three people were found after Israeli strikes.
The local hospital identified the deceased and reported that they all belonged to the same family: two of them were 42 years old, and one was 28 years old.
An Israeli army spokesperson, contacted by the AFP news agency, said the army is investigating the circumstances.
According to the civil defense agency, three people were also killed on Thursday during Israeli strikes. The Israeli army said it targeted two Hamas members accused of planning attacks against Israelis.
Israel continues to carry out strikes in the Gaza Strip, despite the US-mediated ceasefire declared in October. Israel claims it must eliminate threats arising from Hamas, which carried out an unprecedented attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.
Nickolay Mladenov, the chief representative of the US President Donald Trump’s Peace Council for the Gaza Strip, said on Thursday that deadly Israeli strikes prevent Gaza Strip residents from benefiting from the ceasefire, which he says is still holding.

“Every use of force that is not a response to an immediate threat, and every incident whose deconfliction mechanism was not requested to resolve, costs this process something very difficult to recover,” he told the United Nations (UN) Security Council.
He added that Hamas is also not fulfilling its commitments, including disarmament, although the group promised to do so at the end of last month.
Israel warned it would take retaliatory actions over kites allowed in the Gaza Strip after several flew into Israeli territory, causing some parents to forbid their children from flying kites.
In previous years, explosive-laden kites and balloons were released from the Gaza Strip. The latest ones did not contain explosives, although it was reported that at least one had a political message written on it.
Defense Minister Israeli Katz said on Thursday that the deadline to stop kite flying had expired, and, as reported by Israeli media, warned: “Any launch itself is a terrorist act, and we will treat it as such.”
