Israeli forces killed a 6-year-old girl, Shahd Abdel Razaq al-Najjar, early Saturday in western Gaza City when she succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained inside her tent, according to Shehab Wire. The child's death occurred as the territory marked a year since widespread breaches of the border fence.
A second Palestinian was shot by Israeli forces in Rafah in southern Gaza on the same day, though details of that injury were not immediately available.
