Seven Killed as IDF Opens Fire After Alleged Ceasefire Violation
Israeli troops have been accused of opening fire and killing Palestinians less than 24 hours after the Gaza ceasefire took effect.
Authorities in the besieged Palestinian territory reported that at least seven people had been killed by Israeli gunfire in two separate incidents on Tuesday morning.
This incident occurred a day after Hamas freed 20 living Israeli hostages, while Israel sent more than 30 buses of prisoners back to Gaza.
The Israel Defence Forces confirmed its soldiers shot dead “suspects” in the Shejaiya neighbourhood of Gaza City.
Under the first phase of the ‘historic’ peace deal brokered by the United States, the Israeli military will remain in control of nearly 60 per cent of the besieged Palestinian territory.
