Israel has killed 3 Palestinians in Gaza every day since truce, rights group says

Israeli forces have been continuing daily attacks on Gaza despite the ceasefire deal, killing scores of people across the Strip, including two children on Thursday alone, Al Jazeera reports.

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor says Israeli forces have killed at least 150 Palestinians and wounded 605 others between January 19, when the ceasefire came into effect, and March 10.

That comes up to an average of three people every 24 hours.

“The ongoing killings by the Israeli army are carried out by snipers and drones, including quadcopter aircraft, which target Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip. The deadly attacks frequently occur when residents attempt to return and inspect their damaged homes near the so-called ‘buffer zone’ imposed by Israel along the Strip’s northern and eastern borders,” it said.
