At least 12 Palestinians were killed and several others wounded by Israeli army fire in the Gaza Strip on Monday, in another violation of a ceasefire in effect since last October, medical sources said.
The sources said one person was killed and others were injured when Israeli forces opened fire on civilian vehicles east of the town of al-Qarara, northeast of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Witnesses told Anadolu that Israeli forces positioned east of Salah al-Din Street opened fire on Palestinian vehicles in an area outside their agreed deployment and control zone under the ceasefire.
Another Palestinian lost his life and a child was injured when an Israeli strike hit a gathering in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, the source added.
Witnesses said an Israeli drone fired at least one missile at a group of Palestinians in the area.
Ten Palestinians were killed and a large number of others injured in an Israeli attack targeting a gathering of civilians east of Al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip, medical sources told Anadolu.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 723 Palestinians have been killed and 1,990 injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire.
The agreement was meant to end a two-year Israeli offensive on Gaza, which left more than 72,000 dead and 172,000 wounded, and destroyed 90% of the civilian infrastructure. The UN estimates reconstruction costs at around $70 billion.
