Medical sources reported that the wounded resident was moved to Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia.

The Israeli Army killed 12 Palestinians and wounded at least 45 in a number of attacks carried out in the last ten days. Most of the casualties were children and women.

On Saturday evening, several Palestinian factions held a meeting that was initiated by the Hamas movement, and decided that they will be committed to a truce should Israel stop its assaults and violations against the Palestinian people.
