An Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip has killed at least four Palestinians and wounded seven others.
At least two of the dead were Palestinian civilians.
The Israeli missile hit the car as it travelled down Salahedin Street in Gaza City, killing two militants from Islamic Jihad who were inside the vehicle.
Palestinian witnesses and medics say a woman and a child standing nearby were hit by shrapnel and died of their wounds.
The Israeli military has confirmed it was targeting a senior member of Islamic Jihad, a group which does not recognise the ceasefire agreement brokered by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
At least six others, mostly children, were wounded in the missile attack.
Earlier, two teenage brothers from Gaza City were killed when a bomb they were playing with exploded.
