On Thursday, two Palestinian children were killed, one by Israeli gunfire and another from the explosion of an unexploded ordnance left behind by the occupation in the central Gaza Strip.
WAFA correspondent reported the death of the child, Hamouda Alaa Saud, 14, as a result of the detonation of an unexploded ordnance left behind by the occupation in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
He added that Israeli soldiers killed another child, Anas Saqr Al-Nabahin, 15, after shooting him with live rounds east of Al-Bureij camp, in central Gaza.
The Ma’an News Agency reported that Israeli Air Force bombed agricultural land east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip, on Thursday evening.
It quoted Israeli sources which claimed that a rocket was launched from the Gaza Strip, adding that the rocket fell inside the Gaza Strip, before warplanes targeted a site east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp.
In January, the Director of the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) in the occupied Palestinian territory, Luke Irving, warned that the considerable contamination of Gaza with explosive remnants of war, has the potential to cause tragic civilian casualties.
Irving stated that these explosive ordnance have caused “the killing and wounding of civilians, and the obstruction of humanitarian operations, and that initial reports document 92 victims since October 2023.”
Since the beginning of its military onslaught against the besieged Gaza Strip, on October 7, 2023, Israeli forces have killed 48,239 Palestinian citizens, most of whom were women and children, and wounded 111,676, while thousands of victims remain under the ruins of bombed buildings.
