  "account": "Eight Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza on Thursday as the territory marked the first anniversary of a ceasefire. The strikes followed fresh expulsion orders issued by Israeli authorities in several areas. In Gaza City's Sabra neighbourhood, a woman and a child were among those killed when Israeli forces bombed two houses. Families were forced to flee their homes, but not everyone managed to escape the airstrikes before they began. Elsewhere, Israeli forces ordered residents in the Old City and eastern parts of Gaza City to evacuate ahead of additional strikes. A Palestinian was also shot and killed by an Israeli soldier in Deir al-Balah. Two individuals were killed in a car bombing near the Jordanian Field Hospital in Gaza City. This violence comes a day before the first anniversary of the ceasefire, which was announced to end Israel's war on Gaza in October 2023. Despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces have continued to violate it daily, continuing their bombardment and restricting aid deliveries. Israeli forces have killed at least 1,470 Palestinians and wounded over 5,000 since the ceasefire, with at least 300 of the victims being children. The Palestinian health ministry warned against Israeli claims that Hamas uses hospitals and ambulances for military purposes, calling it an attempt to justify further attacks and destroy what remains of Gaza's healthcare system.",
