Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in Gaza City amid repeated ceasefire violations
Two more Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces in Gaza on Monday, marking the latest fatalities amid persistent violations of a ceasefire agreement.
Palestinian media reported on Monday that the two victims were shot dead after Israeli troops opened fire in the Shuja'iyya neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City.
Their deaths bring the total number of Palestinians killed in Gaza over the past 24 hours to at least 12, including eight bodies recovered from rubble across the territory.
The development comes amid Israel’s ongoing breach of a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement with Hamas, which came into effect on October 10.
Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Monday that Israel has committed 875 violations of the ceasefire since it began.
In a statement, the office condemned “serious and systematic violations,” citing continued air and artillery attacks, the demolition of civilian homes and infrastructure, and at least 265 incidents in which Israeli troops fired on Palestinian civilians.
Meanwhile, humanitarian conditions in the enclave remain dire as the Gaza government has slammed Israel for blocking urgently needed humanitarian aid, exacerbating the crisis faced by the displaced population.
United Nations figures estimate that around 1.9 million people, nearly 90 percent of Gaza’s population, have been displaced since the conflict began in October 2023.
Israel has not immediately commented on the latest reported killings or the ceasefire violations.
According to a Monday report by the Gaza Health Ministry, 411 Palestinians have been killed and 1,112 injured since the ceasefire began on October 10.
It added that 649 bodies were recovered during the same period.
The ministry said the overall death toll in Gaza since October 2023 has risen to 70,937, with at least 171,192 people injured.
