Gaza (QNN)- At least two Palestinians were killed on Monday in an Israeli drone strike targeting a gathering of civilians in Gaza City, as Israel continues its daily violations of the US-backed ceasefire, killing over 1,320 since the agreement took effect.
Local sources confirmed that Omar Al-Sarraj and Assem Tawfiq were killed on Monday afternoon in an Israeli airstrike targeting the entrance of a residential building near the Municipal Park in Gaza City.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said the overall death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has also surpassed 73,450.
On Sunday, a 3-year-old child was killed in an Israeli attack in central Gaza. Tim Hamdan was his family's only child.
There has been a spike in Israeli attacks in the war-torn Strip despite the ceasefire which took effect in October.
Apartment buildings, markets, vehicles, and cafés have continued to come under attack. In some cases, families received displacement orders only minutes before their homes were bombed, while many others received no warning at all.
United Nations human rights chief Volker Turk condemned Israel’s attacks in the Gaza Strip, saying that “the unrelenting pattern of killings” reflects Israel’s “sweeping impunity”.
“Palestinians are still being killed and injured in what is left of their homes, shelters and tents of displaced families, on the streets, in vehicles, at a medical facility and a classroom,” Turk said.
“We mourn as Gaza reaches yet another tragic milestone … Thousands more people who were told the worst was over are still burying their loved ones,” said Fikr Shalltoot, Gaza director at Medical Aid for Palestinians.
Doctors Without Borders, known as MSF, said it has been “over 1,000 days since Israel's genocide in Gaza began, and the collective punishment of Palestinians continues to this day. Amidst a so-called ceasefire, the world has normalised seeing Palestinians being maimed and killed daily in their tents, in hospitals, and on the street.”
It added, “This is not a ceasefire.”
Israel also continues to restrict the entry of aid while occupying large parts of the enclave.
