A Palestinian was killed yesterday when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at him in Al-Shawka town, east of Rafah in the southern besieged Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Information Centre said.

According to local sources, Salah As-Sufi was shot dead by Israeli gunfire as the third week of the ceasefire in the enclave begins.

Meanwhile, a number of civilians, including a child, were injured in Israeli strikes west of Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza and Abasan town in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.

In addition, medical sources said that a girl child called Ranim Shaat died of a serious injury she had sustained in an Israeli strike on her home in Rafah during the war on Gaza. Her father and her unborn brother were killed in the strike.
