The strikes follow a limited repening of the Rafah border crossing

Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli air strikes on Wednesday killed 17 people in the Palestinian territory, with Israel's military saying it struck after gunfire targeting its troops wounded an officer.

Despite a US-brokered truce entering its second phase last month, violence has continued in the Gaza Strip, with Israel and Hamas accusing each other of breaching the agreement.
