The Palestine Red Crescent Society stated on Sunday that at least one person died and four were injured when Israeli snipers opened fire on Palestinians near the Wadi Gaza Bridge. The incident follows the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which came into force a week ago.
The Israeli government insisted Palestinians will not be able to return to northern Gaza until Hamas releases hostage Arbel Yehud. As part of the ceasefire deal, the Palestinian organization has been releasing groups of hostages, but Israel claims Yehud was not released according to schedule.
