In new clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian fighters in Gaza, two Palestinians, a 35-year-old man and his minor son (13), were killed this morning, the Ministry of Health in that territory announced.
Palestinian reports say the drone carried out the latest strike, hours after the declaration of a ceasefire, according to Israeli media.
Israel attacked Gaza overnight in response to mortar fire hours after Hamas and Islamic Jihad declared a ceasefire to end the most serious conflict since the two sides' 2014 war.
The Israeli army announced at one hour after midnight that mortar missiles were fired into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. Missile defense sirens sounded in the border settlements.
As a sign of retaliation, the place from which the missiles were fired was attacked, the military statement added.
Soon after, sirens sounded again near the border and the military said the Iron Dome missile defense system had intercepted one missile.
The Israeli government had previously accepted the terms of a ceasefire agreed to by Hamas and Islamic Jihad through Egyptian mediators, including a decision to end Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army also lifted restrictions along the Gaza border, the Associated Press reported.
The military closed the popular beach and imposed restrictions on mass gatherings, but later said summer camps would continue to operate as usual.
Accepting the ceasefire, a senior officer said that "the facts on the ground will decide how Israel continues to respond."
On Friday night and then during the day, Hamas fired dozens of rockets into Israel and the Israeli military fired at more than 40 targets in the belt, threatening to break out into war after weeks of tension over mass Palestinian protests along the sensitive border.
Two Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Saturday and three Israelis were wounded when a rocket hit a residential building.
