The "Israeli" military killed a Palestinian and injured another in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on Wednesday, despite the ongoing ceasefire agreement that has been in place since Jan. 19.
A medical source told Anadolu Agency that one person was martyred and another seriously wounded after an "Israeli" drone targeted a group of people in eastern Rafah.
This attack occurred just hours after another Palestinian was killed when "Israeli" forces opened fire on residents west of Rafah, marking a new violation of the ceasefire on its 25th day.
On January 19, a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and "Israel" took effect in Gaza, involving a prisoner exchange and humanitarian aid deliveries. The agreement consists of three phases, each lasting 42 days, with ongoing negotiations mediated by Egypt and Qatar and supported by the United States.
On Tuesday, Gaza's Health Ministry Director-General, Dr. Munir Al-Barsh, announced that 92 Palestinians had been killed and 822 injured due to direct "Israeli" attacks since the ceasefire took effect.
Dr. Al-Barsh also noted that two more Palestinians lost their lives due to remnants of "Israeli" ordnance.
The number of those who succumbed to their injuries has risen to 24, bringing the total death toll to 118 since the ceasefire began, as of Tuesday.
Furthermore, health teams have recovered the bodies of 641 people, including approximately 197 who remain unidentified.
Additionally, a Palestinian official informed the Anadolu Agency on Tuesday that "Israel" has committed nearly 270 violations of the ceasefire agreement, particularly breaching its humanitarian provisions.
