Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian Child in Southern Gaza Despite Ceasefire

HeadlineJan 22, 2025

In Gaza, Israeli forces shot and killed a 12-year-old Palestinian child in the southern city of Rafah on Monday, in what witnesses called a blatant violation of the ceasefire deal. Video of the assault shows Israeli forces opening fire on another person attempting to retrieve the boy’s limp body. The U.N.’s humanitarian affairs office says more than 2,400 aid trucks have entered the besieged Palestinian territory since Israel lifted its blockade Sunday when the ceasefire deal took effect.
