Israeli military launches air raids in Khan Younis, Gaza City
The Israeli military has carried out air strikes in Khan Younis in southern Gaza and in Gaza City over the past hour, according to Al Jazeera Arabic.
Israeli forces have also repeatedly shelled the Katiba area in the centre of Khan Younis.
There were no initial reports of casualties.
The Israeli attacks in the early hours of Friday morning are the first to be reported in Gaza since Israel’s government ratified the first phase of a ceasefire deal with Hamas late Thursday night.
That ceasefire is set to come into force at any time over the coming day.

Israeli helicopters, artillery shelling targets east of Gaza City
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report that Israeli attack helicopters are targeting a site east of Gaza City in the north of the enclave, and artillery shelling has also been reported.
The Israeli attack in the north follows shortly after reports of air strikes in Gaza’s southern Khan Younis area, the first reported strikes since Israel’s government agreed late on Thursday to sign on to the first phase of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan.
Gaza’s civil defence has also warned people to keep away from the border areas of Gaza City until the official announcement of the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
