GAZA — Israel has killed at least 20 Palestinians in attacks across Gaza in one of the deadliest days since “ceasefire” began in October, medical sources said on Wednesday.Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City said it had received the bodies of 13 people, including five children, who were killed when tents and homes in the eastern Zeitoun and Tuffah neighborhoods were hit.An Al Jazeera report said 14 people killed by Israeli shelling in northern Gaza.Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said four dead, including one child, were brought there following Israeli shelling of displaced people’s tents in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area, south of Khan Younis.An additional two people were killed by Israeli air attacks on the al-Mawasi tent camp. The Palestinian Red Crescent said one of those killed was its paramedic.Hospital officials said six children were among those killed in the Gaza City and Khan Younis areas.Israel’s military said its armoured units and aircraft had conducted strikes in northern Gaza after a reserve officer came under fire, severely injuring him.It said the injured officer had been evacuated to hospital after the incident, which took place “during routine operational activity” near the so-called “yellow line” demarcating areas under Israeli military control.It added that armoured units and aircraft conducted precise strikes in the area in response to what it considered a “blatant violation” of the truce.Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of nearly-daily violations since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October.Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry has said at least 529 people have been killed by Israeli fire, while the Israeli military has said four of its soldiers have been killed in Palestinian attacks. — AgenciesGAZA — Israel has killed at least 20 Palestinians in attacks across Gaza in one of the deadliest days since “ceasefire” began in October, medical sources said on Wednesday.Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City said it had received the bodies of 13 people, including five children, who were killed when tents and homes in the eastern Zeitoun and Tuffah neighborhoods were hit.An Al Jazeera report said 14 people killed by Israeli shelling in northern Gaza.Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said four dead, including one child, were brought there following Israeli shelling of displaced people’s tents in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area, south of Khan Younis.An additional two people were killed by Israeli air attacks on the al-Mawasi tent camp.
