Israeli strike kills woman in Gaza; Iran executes man

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 08:32 · Archive

An Israeli strike on Gaza City killed a woman, while Iran executed a man accused of an armed operation.

An Israeli strike on an apartment in Gaza City killed a woman early Wednesday, according to officials at Shifa hospital. Israel's military said it struck a Hamas militant but was still assessing the strike's outcome, without providing further details.

Just over a year since a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect, Israel continues to launch near-daily deadly strikes on the Palestinian enclave. More than 1,490 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire began, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry does not give a breakdown of civilians and militants, but says women and children make up most of the dead. U.N. agencies and independent experts regard the figures as generally reliable.

Meanwhile, Iran executed a man identified as Ali Sina Mostafavi, accused of an 'armed operation' against the state in support of exiled former Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. According to a report by Mizan, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Republic's judiciary, Mostafavi opened fire in the southeastern city of Kerman, injuring several people including a child. Executions on similar charges have drawn international concern; U.N. experts called this month for Iran to halt all executions.
