Palestinian sustains injury from Israeli gunfire in central Gaza Strip

GAZA, January 21, 2025 (WAFA) – A Palestinian civilian Tuesday sustained an injury from Israeli army gunfire to the east of al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, according to local sources.

They said that the occupation forces stationed to the east of the refugee camp opened gunfire towards a young man, injuring him.

The casualty was rushed to a hospital for treatment.

This came a day after the occupation forces released 90 Palestinian prisoners as part of the Gaza ceasefire, which went into effect on Sunday and ended Israel’s genocidal aggression on the Strip.

Israel proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
