Three Palestinians were killed and 24 others, including children, were injured on Sunday in Israeli strikes across Gaza and the occupied West Bank amid continued violations of an ongoing ceasefire, medical sources said.
An Israeli drone struck a gathering of beachgoers inside the fishermen's port on the coast of Gaza City, killing two people and injuring 18 others with several children among the wounded, according to sources who spoke to Anadolu. An Israeli artillery strike also targeted the Zeitoun neighbourhood southeast of Gaza City, wounding two more Palestinians.
Earlier in the day, four people, including a child and a woman, were injured in a drone strike on a house in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. In the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, an Israeli quadcopter drone dropped a bomb on a tent sheltering displaced people, though no injuries were reported.
Since a ceasefire took effect more than seven months ago halting a two-year genocidal war on Gaza launched in October 2023.
Israeli attacks have killed 930 Palestinians and injured 2,819 others, according to the Gaza Media Office. The broader war has killed nearly 73,000 Palestinians and injured more than 173,000, most of them women and children, according to Palestinian figures.
Palestinian workers face crackdown
Separately, a 27-year-old Palestinian worker succumbed to injuries after being shot by Israeli forces near the town of al-Ram, according to the Jerusalem Governorate.
Israel has been preventing thousands of Palestinian workers from the occupied West Bank from reaching their workplaces in Jerusalem and Israel since the start of the genocidal war in October 2023.
According to figures from the General Federation of Palestinian Trade Unions, more than 50 Palestinian workers have been killed and over 38,000 arrested between October 2023 and May 1 this year.
Since the start of the Gaza war, Israel has barred Palestinian workers from returning to their jobs, prompting some to climb the separation wall despite the risks.
East Jerusalem is surrounded by a wall made largely of concrete and barbed wire, most of it built on West Bank land. The wall stands more than 8 meters (26 feet) high and stretches roughly 202 kilometers (125 miles), according to the Israeli rights group B'Tselem.
While Israel claims the barrier was built for security reasons, Palestinians and the UN say it is part of a plan to annex Palestinian land to Israel.
In 2004, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion declaring the wall illegal because it was constructed on occupied Palestinian territory.
