Kathmandu— Israeli military operations killed at least three people and injured several others across the Gaza Strip on Thursday. An Israeli drone strike hit civilians in Rimal neighborhood of western Gaza City, while gunfire from Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in Beit Lahia town. These incidents occurred despite a ceasefire brokered by the United States that came into effect in October. Meanwhile, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir unveiled plans to remove approximately two million Palestinians from Gaza within seven years.

Continued Israeli Attacks

The ongoing attacks include a drone strike on Thursday in the Rimal neighborhood of western Gaza City that killed one person and injured several others. According to Palestinian sources, the drone fired at least two missiles at civilians. In Beit Lahia town, Israeli forces opened fire on a group of Palestinians, killing two people, including a 13-year-old child.

Israeli Military Claims

The Israeli military claimed that its forces had identified and eliminated two “terrorists” who crossed the so-called Yellow Line in northern Gaza. This buffer zone was established as part of the ceasefire agreement, but deadly strikes have continued despite the supposed truce.

Plan for Palestinian Removal

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir revealed a plan to remove roughly two million Palestinians from Gaza within seven years. The initiative aims to establish a dedicated ministry and secure agreements with countries to take in people from Gaza, starting with the departure of 250,000 people in the first year.
