Gaza, MINA – In a further violation of the standing ceasefire, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man on Friday in Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip, according to a medical source, Anadolu Agency reported.
A medical official from Nasser Hospital reported that the victim was pronounced dead upon arrival after sustaining gunshot wounds from Israeli fire. Eyewitnesses stated that the man was shot by Israeli forces who fired into the western area of Khan Younis, outside the zones where the Israeli army is officially deployed.
This incident underscores the fragile nature of the ceasefire that took effect on October 10, which had halted a devastating two-year Israeli military offensive. That war resulted in the deaths of over 71,200 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, injured more than 171,000 others, and left the coastal enclave in ruins.
Despite the ceasefire agreement, deadly attacks by Israeli forces have persisted. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 414 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,100 injured since the truce was established.[]
