Gaza's civil defense agency said Thursday that at least seven people had been killed in fresh Israeli strikes in the Palestinian territory, hours before Israel's cabinet was set to vote on a ceasefire deal.

"Our crew retrieved 5 dead and more than 10 injured from under the rubble of a house... that was bombed by the Israeli army in the Al-Rimal area west of Gaza City," the agency said in a statement.

It added it had retrieved the bodies of two more people killed in a strike at "the Al-Sha'biya intersection in the center of Gaza City."

The strikes come a day after Qatar and the US announced a ceasefire and hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas that they hope will pave the way for a permanent end to the war in Gaza.

Israeli media reported that the cabinet was set to vote on the ceasefire agreement Thursday morning.
