Israeli forces killed an 11-year-old Palestinian girl in Gaza City on Tuesday, according to reports from the Strip, as the IDF continues violating the US-backed ceasefire deal.
The girl has been identified as Dana Muqata, and, according to Mahmoud Basal, spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defense, she was killed in the Zarqa area of the Tuffah neighborhood in northeast Gaza City.
Witnesses told the Palestinian news agency WAFA that Israeli military vehicles entered the area and fired indiscriminately, and one round hit Muqata, killing her.
WAFA also reported that a child and a woman were injured by an Israeli attack west of Jabalia in northern Gaza. Basal said that a child was also injured when an Israeli bomb was dropped in the east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
According to numbers released by Gaza’s Health Ministry on Monday, the IDF has killed at least 414 Palestinians and wounded 1,145. Despite the constant violations, President Trump claimed on Monday that Israel was living up to its end of the deal “100%.”
The US president also appeared to give Hamas an ultimatum to disarm within a certain amount of time, or there will be “hell to pay,” signaling he may soon give Israel the green light to restart its full-scale bombing campaign.
