Gaza, Aug 8 (KUNA) -- A Palestinian was martyred today, Saturday, by Israeli occupation forces’ fire east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza Strip, while several Palestinians, including critically injured cases, were shot by Israeli military vehicles in Khan Younis in the south of the Strip. At the same time, civil defense teams managed to recover the remains of 19 martyrs from Gaza City.

Health authorities stated in a press statement that a young Palestinian was martyred by Israeli occupation forces’ fire east of Deir al-Balah in the central Strip and was subsequently transferred to Al-Aqsa Hospital.

In southern Gaza Strip, several Palestinians were injured, including cases described as critical, due to gunfire from Israeli military vehicles in Mawasi, Khan Younis, coinciding with the advance of Israeli military vehicles into the eastern areas of the city, where they fired at displaced persons.

The authorities noted that the total number of injuries reaching Nasser Medical Complex since dawn today reached eight, resulting from gunfire by Israeli military vehicles in the eastern and southern areas of Khan Younis city.

In Gaza City, the Civil Defense Agency stated in a press statement that its teams completed the operation to recover the remains of 19 martyrs from under the rubble of a residential building bombed by Israeli occupation aircraft on Al-Sanaa Street during the war, following four consecutive days of search and field recovery operations.

These field developments come after a relative calm witnessed in the Gaza Strip in recent days, coinciding with ongoing diplomatic efforts to transition to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement. (End) and b / r j
