Gaza, April 12 (QNA) - A Palestinian citizen was killed Sunday as a result of the continued attacks by Israeli occupation forces on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Local sources said that the Palestinian citizen was killed after being shot by the occupation forces near Salah Al Din Street in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip.

This comes in the context of the ongoing escalation by the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip, and the continued violation of the ceasefire agreement, which has resulted in the deaths of hundreds and injuries to thousands since the agreement was signed.

A ceasefire agreement was signed between Hamas and the Israeli occupation forces and came into effect in October, but the occupation forces have not stopped launching raids and aerial and artillery bombardments on various areas in the Gaza Strip. (QNA)
