Israel Kills Palestinian Civilians, Including Children, in Latest Gaza Ceasefire Violations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel is continuing deadly attacks across the Gaza Strip despite the
U.S.-brokered so-called ceasefire that was supposed to have taken effect
in October. On Wednesday evening, an Israeli airstrike targeted
civilians in northern Gaza, killing at least five Palestinians,
including three children. And on Thursday, an Israeli strike on a
civilian car in al-Maghazi refugee camp killed three people, including
two Civil Defense workers. Witnesses said the victims were torn to
pieces.

Ibrahim: "There were no heads, no legs and no arms. We collected their
remains from the streets: flesh, bones and brains off the streets. And
no one should fool us by saying there's a ceasefire. There is no
information about any ceasefire."

Hamas said in response that Israeli strikes in Gaza constitute a
"criminal escalation" that undermines commitments to the ceasefire.
Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a
child during an army raid on the city of Nablus. The boy, Yousef Sameh
Ashtayyeh, was just 15 years old.
