Hamas-run health ministry says one killed by IDF, baby girl dead of cold exposure over past 24 hours

Gaza hospitals received the body of one person killed by the IDF over the past 24 hours, the Hamas-run health ministry says in a noon report.

The report does not identify the dead person or say where they were killed.

Palestinian media reported yesterday evening that a teenager was killed by IDF gunfire on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya. The IDF has not commented on the reports.

Media identified him as Muhammad al-Brawi, 16. His body was reportedly brought to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital and taken by his family for burial earlier today.

Gaza hospitals also attended to six people wounded by IDF gunfire in the past 24 hours, the Hamas-run health ministry says. It does not specify where the people were wounded or the severity of their wounds.

In addition, the health ministry reports a 27-day-old baby girl died of cold exposure over the past day. Palestinian media identifies her as Aisha al-Agha. She reportedly died today in Khan Younis, in the Strip’s south.

According to the ministry, she is the eighth child to die of cold exposure in Gaza this winter season, starting last month.
