Palestinian death toll in Israeli genocide in Gaza tops 69,000

A Palestinian was killed and another wounded in two Israeli attacks across Gaza on Saturday, according to Palestinian sources, reported Xinhua. In the first attack, Israeli tanks fired shells and opened heavy machine-gun fire toward Palestinians east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp, central Gaza, killing one Palestinian man, according to sources at Gaza's health authorities. Al-Awda Hospital confirmed in a statement that it has received the body of the dead. In the second attack, Israeli gunfire in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, southern Gaza, injured a young man, the Civil Defense in Gaza said. Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it killed two Palestinians, one in northern Gaza and the other in the south, claiming that the two and a third crossed the "Yellow Line," a demarcation marking areas where Israeli forces remain deployed in Gaza, and approached IDF troops. The ceasefire reached between Israel and Hamas, which took effect on Oct. 10, has sharply reduced Israeli attacks but not halted them entirely. At least 241 Palestinians have been killed and 614 injured by Israeli attacks since Oct. 11, Gaza's health authorities said Saturday, bringing the overall death toll from Israeli attacks since October 2023 to 69,169, with 170,685 others injured.
