- One Palestinian was killed in Gaza by Israeli firing and another wounded on Nov 8, local medics said, as a fragile ceasefire holds between Hamas and Israel.

Gazan medical officials said the person who died was killed by Israeli firing east of Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Civil defence rescuers said one Palestinian was shot and wounded by Israeli gunfire in the western Khan Younis area in the southern part of the strip.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
