ISRAELI forces killed one Palestinian and seriously injured another in ash-Shawka, east of southern Gaza’s Rafah city today.

The Israeli military confirmed the strike, claiming it was linked to cross-border weapons smuggling.

The attack took place despite an ongoing ceasefire and follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistance on Tuesday that any delay in releasing hostages would lead to Israel reopening hostilities.
