The Israeli forces killed at least 29 Palestinians in Gaza and ordered new withdrawals on Tuesday (24), doctors and residents said in another bloodshed shortly after Israel and Iran reached a ceasefire to end a 12-day air war.
The agreement between Israel and Iran announced by US President Donald Trump increased hopes among the Palestinians of ending more than 20 months of war in Gaza, which widely demolished the territory and moved most residents, with widespread malnutrition.
“Enough! The whole universe has disappointed us. Hezbollah came to an agreement without Gaza, and now Iran has done the same,” said Adel Farouk, 62, from the city of Gaza.
“We hope Gaza will be next,” he told Reuters through a message app.

But Trump said this morning that both Israel and Iran violate the ceasefire, and the deadly violence in Gaza continued with little truce.
Marwan Abu Naser, from Al-Awda Hospital in Nusirat, downtown Gaza, said he received 19 dead and 146 crowd injured that was trying to reach a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Distribution Center (GHF) supported by the US.
Abu Naser told Reuters that the casualties were caused by fire.
The Armed Forces of Israel said that a meeting at night was identified adjacent to the forces operating in the central hallway of Netzarim in Gaza and were analyzing the reports of victims.

In response to a request for comment from ReutersGHF said in an email that it had not heard of any violent incident near its place of help, which, according to her, was located several kilometers south of the Netzarim corridor.
The UN help trucks that enter Gaza also use the region’s roads, and in recent days, the Palestinians have reported deaths from people by Israeli fire while waiting at the roadside to get truck flour bags.
Israel has channeled much of the aid that lets in Gaza through GHF, which operates some distribution sites in areas protected by Israeli forces.

The United Nations rejects the GHF distribution system because it consider it inappropriate, dangerous and a violation of the rules of humanitarian impartiality. Israel states that it is necessary to prevent Hamas militants from which they are fighting, to divert help deliveries. Hamas denies it.
Philippe Lazzarini, head of the United Nations Palestinian Assistance Agency, Unrwa, told Berlin reporters on Tuesday that the new mechanism is an “abomination” and “a mortal trap.”
Separately, 10 other people were killed by an Israeli air strike in a house in the neighborhood of Sabra, in the city of Gaza, raising the death toll on Tuesday to at least 29, according to doctors.
