The medical source said the victim’s body was transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
According to eyewitnesses, the strike hit the town of Bani Suheil, an area from which Israeli regime forces were supposed to have withdrawn under the ceasefire deal that took effect on Oct. 10.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israeli regime attacks since the ceasefire began have killed at least 422 Palestinians and wounded 1,189 others.
The ministry said the ongoing violations underscore the fragility of the truce and the continued toll on civilians despite the agreement.
Separately, the ceasefire had halted Israel’s two-year genocidal war on Gaza, which killed nearly 71,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children, wounded more than 171,200 others since October 2023, and left much of the enclave destroyed.
The Gaza Human Rights Center said the Israeli regime has turned the so-called “Yellow Line” inside Gaza into what it described as a killing zone for Palestinians.
The center said that despite nearly three months since the ceasefire took effect, Israeli regime forces have continued to commit “brutal and systematic crimes” against civilians under the pretext that Palestinians approached or crossed the Yellow Line, which Israel has imposed as a new internal security boundary within the Gaza Strip.
The rights group said these criminal actions constitute a clear violation of international humanitarian law, civilian protection rules during armed conflict, and the terms of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
According to the center, Israeli regime forces have used excessive lethal force against civilians living near or approaching the Yellow Line, including farmers, displaced people, and residents attempting to return to their homes or land, directly targeting them with gunfire.
It said that since the ceasefire began on Oct. 10, more than 420 Palestinians have been killed and about 1,200 wounded, with most victims being women and children, and that most of these incidents occurred in areas designated as part of the Yellow Line.
The center added that Israeli regime violations include direct sniper fire, drone strikes, artillery shelling and other air attacks, describing them as evidence of a systematic policy of lethal force against civilians.
Meanwhile, the group said the Israeli regime has continued to expand the areas it controls along the Yellow Line, increasing them from about 53% of Gaza’s total area to more than 60% over the past three weeks, while moving yellow concrete blocks that mark the line and banning Palestinians from crossing it.
It also documented the systematic destruction of remaining homes and civilian property within the Yellow Line area, saying Israeli regime forces are seeking to erase entire residential neighborhoods as part of a policy aimed at imposing a new demographic and security reality.
The center said this policy is intended to prevent Palestinian civilians from returning to their areas and homes in Gaza, amounting to forced displacement and a direct violation of the ceasefire, which was meant to stop hostilities, protect civilians and enable returns, not to impose new military lines in densely populated areas.
In its statement, the center said these actions have coincided with official remarks by Israeli regime officials calling for an expansion of the Yellow Line, indicating what it described as a premeditated intent to use it as an open killing zone.
It cited Israeli regime war minister Israel Katz as saying the Israeli army had begun marking the Yellow Line on the ground and that any attempt to approach or cross it would be met with gunfire.
