Israeli artillery shelling injured at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza City on Wednesday, medical sources said, in an area the Israeli army had withdrawn from under a cease-fire agreement that has been in place since Oct. 10.
The sources said the injuries occurred when an artillery shell landed near a gathering of civilians in the Al-Samer area in Gaza City.
The targeted site is among areas from which the Israeli army withdrew under the first phase of the cease-fire agreement that took effect on Oct. 10.
An Israeli security source claimed that the artillery shells veered off course and hit Gaza City.
Witnesses said Israeli artillery also shelled southeastern Khan Younis and the vicinity of the Morag corridor, north of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
