Israeli forces kill elderly woman in southern Gaza
The Wafa news agency is reporting that Israeli forces shot and killed the Palestinian woman near the town of al-Qarara, east of the city of Khan Younis.
The killing takes the death toll from Israeli attacks in Gaza on Sunday to four.
Earlier, we reported that Israeli forces shot and killed three people in Gaza City in the north of the Strip.
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, a rights group, says it has documented the death of at least 110 Palestinians since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire came into effect on January 19. This includes people killed by Israeli fire and those who succumbed to their wounds after being denied the right to travel abroad for treatment, it said.
Israeli forces killed 7 Palestinian journalists in Gaza in January
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) has condemned Israel’s “serious and continued escalations” against media workers, saying Israeli forces killed at least seven reporters in the Gaza Strip last month alone.
They are Omar al-Diraoui, Saed Abu Nabhan, Ahlam Al-Taluli, Mohammed Bashir Al-Talmis, Aqel Saleh, Ahmed Al-Shiah and Ahmed Hisham Abu Al-Rus.
The PJS said Israeli forces also killed nine family members of Palestinian journalists in January and destroyed the homes of six of them.
Israel’s war on Gaza has been one of the deadliest conflicts for media workers, with more than 200 killed over the course of 15 months. Rights groups say many of the journalists were killed in targeted attacks.
Israeli forces kill another Palestinian in Gaza City

Gaza City residents call for the removal of ‘dangerous’ rubbish
Residents are urging authorities to remove the mounds of toxic rubbish, including in the former business centre of Omar al-Mukhtar Street.
“It is extremely dangerous. We all avoid passing through this area. We hope it is removed at the earliest possible time,” said Ahmed Nasser, a Gaza City resident.
The pileup is resulting in hazardous consequences, like skin conditions, according to healthcare workers. “Accumulation of waste in the vicinity of hospitals gives rise to grave health risks, mainly the outbreak of diseases and epidemics,” said Amin al-Alia, a nurse at Ahli Hospital.
Three dead after damaged buildings collapse in Gaza
People have set up fires inside collapsed buildings as a way to warm themselves during these difficult weather conditions in northern Gaza.
There is a lack of aid, tents and better protection for people here. They are staying in severely damaged buildings due to a lack of shelters in these areas. There have been three documented cases of people dying under similar buildings that were collapsed in recent days.
