GAZA, January 20, 2025 (WAFA) - Israeli occupation forces fatally shot a child and injured another on Monday evening in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, despite the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on Sunday morning.

Local sources confirmed that Zakariya Hameed Yahya Barbakh was killed near the Al-Awda roundabout in central Rafah after being shot by Israeli snipers. Another child was injured while attempting to recover Barbakh's body.

Earlier this evening, one civilian and a child were killed and nine others, including children, were injured by Israeli gunfire in Rafah city.

The ceasefire deal came into effect at 11:15 AM on Sunday; however, violations of the agreement by the occupation forces continue to claim civilian lives in Gaza.
