GAZA CITY, Palestine/ISTANBUL (AA) - Two Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip on Sunday in the latest violation of the ceasefire agreement, medical sources said.
The sources told Anadolu that an Israeli quadcopter drone dropped a bomb on civilians in the Shujaiya neighborhood of Gaza City, killing two people.
Witnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli attack took place in areas that the army forces withdrew from, noting that there have been no violations of the army-controlled yellow zone.
Eastern parts of Gaza City have come under heavy fire from Israeli helicopters since early Sunday, according to local sources.
Israeli military vehicles stationed in army-controlled areas opened fire toward the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, eastern Khan Younis, and northern Rafah in southern Gaza, the sources added.
The Israeli army has committed 738 ceasefire violations, according to the latest figures of the Gaza Government Media Office on Dec. 9.
At least 401 Palestinians have been killed and 1,108 injured by the Israeli army since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, taking the total death toll from the Israeli war to over 70,900 and the number of injured to nearly 171,200.
