\n Fadi and Jumaa Abu Assi \u2013 eight and 10 years old \u2013 went out to fetch firewood for their disabled father in November. They were killed in a drone strike.\n <\/p>\n
\n The Israeli military acknowledged carrying out that strike in a statement, calling the children \u201ctwo suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The Palestinian Health ministry said Sunday that over the previous 24 hours three people had been killed by Israeli military action, bringing the total since the ceasefire came into effect in October to 484.\n <\/p>\n
\n It said that the cumulative death toll in Gaza since October 2023 was 71,657. The ministry does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its data.\n <\/p>\n

\n Last Wednesday, at least 11 Palestinians were killed in a series of attacks, according to UN Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).\n <\/p>\n
\n It said there was \u201ca broader pattern of post-ceasefire violence and the enduring effects of two years of devastation.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Among those killed were three Palestinian journalists near the Netzarim area in central Gaza who had been on assignment for the Egyptian Relief Committee (ERC).\n <\/p>\n
\n OPT said the killing of the three men brought the number of journalists killed in Israeli attacks since October 2023 to 292.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cAll vehicles belonging to the Egyptian Committee have the logo of the Egyptian Committee on them, despite that the vehicle was targeted by Israeli aircraft,\u201d committee spokesman Mohamed Mansour told CNN. He said the journalists filmed the site \u201cas usual on a daily basis.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The Egyptian Relief Committee is a state-run humanitarian organization that operates in Gaza with Israeli authorization \u201cto support the Palestinian people amid the successive crises,\u201d according to the group\u2019s website.\n <\/p>\n
\n In that case, the IDF said troops identified \u201cseveral suspects\u201d operating a drone they claimed was affiliated with Hamas in central Gaza \u201cin a manner that posed a threat to their safety.\u201d The IDF said it then carried out a strike \u201cin accordance with the required chain of command approvals.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The incident was \u201cunder examination,\u201d the IDF said.\n <\/p>\n
\n The military did not provide any evidence linking the drone to Hamas nor did it explain how it posed a threat to Israeli troops. On Tuesday \u2013 a day before the strike \u2013 the Egyptian Relief Committee posted several videos on social media clearly shot with a drone showing the tent encampment near where the journalists were killed.\n <\/p>\n
\n OPT said three incidents that same day took place near the Yellow Line, and two 13-year old boys were among those killed.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cRepeated Israeli military operations into areas west of the redeployment line have also led to the displacement of civilians and the demolition of residential buildings in those areas,\u201d OPT said.\n <\/p>\n
\n OPT said it had also recorded at least 80 reported killings of Palestinians by Hamas since the ceasefire, mostly in clashes with rival families and in summary executions.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cPeople are dying every day, both in Israeli attacks and as a result of continued Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian assistance, in particular shelter, leading to deaths from the cold and under collapsing buildings,\u201d said Ajith Sunghay, Head of UN Human Rights in the OPT.\n <\/p>\n
\n The Israeli agency in charge of allowing aid into Gaza has rejected UN claims that nearly 80% of the population is facing hunger, describing them as \u201can attempt to recycle false and misleading claims for political and economic reasons.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The agency \u2013 the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) \u2013 said that every day between 600 and 800 trucks, primarily carrying food, enter the Gaza Strip.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two Palestinian boys have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza while collecting firewood, according to their families.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":257483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":{"0":"post-257482","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-israel","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
