Gaza city: A Palestinian man was killed by Israeli gunfire in the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire between Palestinian resistance factions and Israel, local authorities said Wednesday. Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal reported that the man lost his life by army fire in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City. Basal did not clarify whether the shooting took place inside areas still held by Israeli forces or in zones they withdrew from under the first phase of the ceasefire agreement that took effect Oct. 10.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Israeli army did not comment on the attack. Gaza's government media office stated that the army has violated the ceasefire about 591 times, resulting in the death of 357 people and injuries to 903 others.

Since October 2023, the Israeli army has killed more than 70,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, and injured over 171,000 others in a brutal assault that also left the enclave in ruins.
