Israel has been carrying out deadly attacks and imposing severe restrictions on aid in Gaza since the beginning of a ceasefire agreement in October, where at least 411 Palestinians have been killed and 1,112 injured.
Wafa reported earlier this week that two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the Shujaiya neighbourhood, east of Gaza City.
Israeli restrictions on vital humanitarian aid also continue in defiance of the ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian armed group Hamas, depriving displaced Palestinians of essential goods and temporary housing during periods of harsh winter storms.
The Gaza government media office said.
The Gaza government media office said earlier this week that an average of only 244 aid trucks were entering the strip per day, far below the daily rate of 600 mandated by the ceasefire agreement.
Attacks on Israeli residents and raids by Israeli soldiers have also intensified in the occupied West Bank.
Wafa reported that a Palestinian municipality worker was injured after being attacked by a group of settlers outside Nablus on Friday, while Palestinian farmers trying to work on their land were detained by Israeli forces east of Tubas.
Several Palestinians were also detained during Israeli raids targeting the communities of Yatta and Beit Omar near Hebron, including a woman, four children and an elderly man, whom Palestinian activists say was arrested after damaging the fence around his home.
Israeli officials almost never hold settlers responsible for acts of violence against Palestinian communities.
Two people were also killed in northern Israel, where police and emergency officials say a Palestinian man from the occupied West Bank drove his car into a crowd of people in the town of Beit She’an.
The attack came a day after footage emerged of an Israeli settler running over a Palestinian man praying on the roadside in the occupied West Bank.
In addition to the violence against Palestinians, Israel is also carrying out almost daily attacks in Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire.
The United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said on Friday that they again came under “heavy machine gun fire” from Israeli positions in southern Lebanon.
UN forces said live ammunition and a grenade attacked a patrol inspecting a road blockade in the village of Bastara.
“UNIFIL informed [the Israeli military] that, following the normal practice of patrolling sensitive areas along the Blue Line, UN forces will be briefed in advance about activities in those areas,” the UN forces said in a statement.
Attacks on or near peacekeepers constitute a grave violation of Security Council resolution 1701. We reiterate our call.” [Israeli military]
“To prevent aggressive behaviour and attacks on or near peacekeepers working for peace and stability along the Blue Line.”
