Four citizens, including an elderly woman, were killed today, Sunday, by Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that 3 martyrs arrived at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, after the occupation army opened fire on a group of citizens near the Malka site, east of Gaza.

She added that the occupation soldiers stationed east of the city opened fire on a group of citizens while they were returning to their homes near the east of Kuwait roundabout, east of the city.

She pointed out that the citizens returned to inspect their homes and lands in that area after the occupation army withdrew from the "Netzarim" axis that separates the Gaza and northern governorates from the center and south.

An elderly woman was also killed by the occupation army's bullets east of Al-Qarara town, east of Khan Yunis city, south of the Gaza Strip.

On January 19, the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip came into effect.
