Israeli violations of truce keep Gazans on edge
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights reports that violations of the truce continue, with Israeli forces still firing across the border, hitting civilians and houses and making the entire area unlivable.
KHAN YUNIS, Gaza Strip — The Israeli army has broken the peace many times in the six months since the end of the last war on the Gaza Strip, which ended with the signing of truce by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Aug. 26, 2014.
Al-Monitor reviewed the weekly reports issued by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights from the end of the war up until Feb. 18. The study listed many Israeli violations, among them that occupation forces shot and killed Fadel Halaweh in the border region east of Jabalia as he was hunting birds Nov. 26 and a drone targeted and killed a resistance fighter east of Khan Yunis Dec. 24. Israeli forces also wounded 40 civilians in various areas along the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, among them one resistance fighter and five fishermen at sea.
