Despite the recently signed ceasefire, Israeli forces killed five Palestinians in the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City, according to Al Jazeera.
The Israeli army confirmed its involvement in the incident.
UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, condemned the killings, calling the ceasefire ‘an insult and a distraction’ if such actions continue.
She urged for justice, sanctions, divestment, and boycott until, in her words, “occupation, apartheid and genocide are over.”
