    On January 20, Al Jazeera reported that at least three Palestinians were killed and eight others were injured by Israeli gunfire in Rafah, despite the ceasefire. In one such case Israeli forces opened fire on and killed 13-year old Zakariya Barbakh, then shot at locals who tried to retrieve his body. On January 21, Wafa reported that two people were wounded by an Israeli drone and gunfire in Gaza.

    The ceasefire didn’t work, unfortunately.

      This is just how ceasefires with Israel work. It’ll calm down eventually, but remember that even in the best of days Gaza is considered a free fire zone for the IDF. I hate it, but it also means we’ll need more before we can judge the ceasefire as ineffective.
