Israel kills Palestinian deputy labor minister in Gaza City
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Israel killed Palestinian Deputy Labor Minister Ihab al-Ghussein in Gaza City on Sunday, local authorities said.
Gaza’s government media office said al-Ghussein was killed along with a group of Palestinians after he was directly hit by an Israeli plane, without providing further details.
The office said al-Ghussein’s wife and daughter had been killed in an airstrike on a house where they had taken refuge.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on the report.
Al-Ghussein had previously served as a spokesman for the Interior Ministry in the Gaza Strip.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued to kill Palestinians. It has killed at least 38,150 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 87,800 others, according to Gaza health authorities.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
