Israel kills at least 28 Palestinians in wave of Gaza ‘ceasefire’ attacks

At least 28 Palestinians have been killed in a wave of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, medical sources tell Al Jazeera, in one of the largest breaches of the United States-brokered ceasefire that came into effect last month.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said on Wednesday at least 77 Palestinians were also wounded in Israeli bombardment, according to a preliminary toll.
Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said the Israeli attacks targeted three specific sites including southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi area, near Khan Younis.

Israel also struck a junction in the eastern Gaza City area of Shujayea filled with displaced Palestinian families, and a building in the Zeitoun neighbourhood where at least 10 people – including an entire family – were killed.

“A father, a mother, and their three children were killed inside this building,” said Mahmoud, adding that the intensified attacks are fuelling panic throughout the Gaza Strip.

“Already, Palestinians across Gaza are dealing with daily horrors,” he said, noting Israeli bombings have not stopped since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into force on October 10.

“The war is still taking place, and Palestinians are still dying due to the ongoing violence.”
