Gunfire targets civilians in Gaza City and Khan Younis in areas covered by truce
GAZA — Two Palestinians were killed and a child was injured in fresh Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Monday, in the latest violation of a ceasefire agreement in the enclave, medics said.
Medical sources said a 52-year-old man was killed in artillery shelling targeting the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
Witnesses said artillery shells hit Block 12 east of the Bureij camp, an area adjacent to zones of Israeli deployment and control under the Oct. 10 ceasefire deal.
Another Palestinian man was killed by Israeli gunfire in the al-Zarqa area of al-Tuffah neighborhood in northeastern Gaza City.
The medical sources said that a young girl was also injured by Israeli army fire in the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Palestinians have accused Israel of repeatedly violating the ceasefire deal, which halted Tel Aviv’s two-year war that has killed more than 71,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 171,400 others since October 2023.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 484 people have been killed and 1,321 others injured since the fragile truce. — Anadolu Agency
