14 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza despite ‘ceasefire’

KABUL (Pajhwok): At least 14 Palestinians, including five children, have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza, Al Jazeera reported.

Medical sources said an Israeli strike on tents housing displaced people in the al-Mawasi area of southern Gaza killed at least four Palestinians.

Another Israeli attack in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City also killed four people. Israeli forces additionally bombed the Bureij and Nuseirat areas in central Gaza.

In a separate incident, Israeli fire killed an 11-year-old Palestinian girl, identified as Hamsa Housou, in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza.

The attacks come as Israel continues its military assault on Gaza despite a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) on Thursday described the strikes on displaced Palestinians as a war crime, saying they reflect Israel’s intention to make Gaza unlivable.

“We affirm that this entity does not respect any ceasefire agreements and relies on treachery and false security pretexts to carry out its plans of extermination and displacement,” the left-wing group said in a statement.
