Gaza health and civil defense officials said that an Israeli air strike killed at least five Palestinians in a residential building in Gaza City early Saturday.

There has been no comment yet from the Israeli army.

The United States brokered a ceasefire in the Strip last year, but negotiators did not agree on the terms for the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Israel has escalated its attacks on Hamas in the past few weeks, and says that the movement is re-arming itself and launching attacks in violation of the ceasefire concluded in October.

Hamas denies trying to launch any attacks or rebuild its arsenal, and accuses Israel of undermining the peace agreement in Gaza.

Health officials in the Strip said that at least 1,400 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire last October, while the Israeli army says that four of its soldiers were killed by gunmen in Gaza in the same period.
