DayofPal—An Israeli strike on eastern parts of Khan Younis killed 9-year-old Palestinian boy, marking another violation of the so-called ceasefire.
Child Adel Al-Najjar was killed after Israeli aircraft targeted the area, where he was taking shelter.
Despite the ceasefire, there has been a spike in Israeli attacks in the war-torn Strip.
Israel has violated the ceasefire which took effect in October more than 2,400 times, and blocking the entry of much-needed aid.
Israeli forces have also killed more than 818 Palestinians, including over 300 children, women, and the elderly. Over 30 of those killed were in this month alone.
Since the war began on October 7, 2023, over 72,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks. More than 20,000 children were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in two years of its genocidal war, according to a Save the Children report in September.
The charity said that, on average, at least one child was killed every hour, over 1,000 of them under one year old, with thousands more suffering injuries, trauma or separation from parents.
United Nations human rights chief Volker Turk condemned Israel’s recent violence in the Gaza Strip, saying that “the unrelenting pattern of killings” reflects Israel’s “sweeping impunity”.
“For the past 10 days, 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.
