GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - A Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli snipers in Gaza City on Thursday despite a ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement, a medical source said.

The source added that the man was killed as he was trying to reach his home in the eastern part of the Shejaiya neighborhood.

The ceasefire agreement took effect in Gaza last month, halting Israel’s genocidal war that has killed at least 48,300 people, mostly women and children, and left the enclave in ruins.

Since then, at least 93 Palestinians have been killed and 822 others injured in Israeli attacks, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its destructive war on the enclave.
