The Gaza Strip witnessed a new field escalation, resulting in the martyrdom of three Palestinians and the injury of others, following a series of raids carried out by Israeli occupation drones on various areas including Beit Lahia, Al-Maghazi refugee camp, and Al-Tuffah neighborhood. Medical sources confirmed that an Israeli drone directly targeted a civilian vehicle in Al-Maghazi camp in the central Strip, leading to casualties and injuries of varying severity, who were transferred to nearby hospitals.
In the northern Strip, a young Palestinian man was martyred after being targeted by a missile from a drone in the town of Beit Lahia, while he was trying to collect firewood for cooking. This incident highlights the escalating humanitarian suffering, as residents are forced to rely on primitive alternatives amidst the tight siege and the prevention of cooking gas and fuel entry by the occupation authorities.
Medical sources also announced the martyrdom of Walid Majdi Haniyeh, 32, who succumbed to his wounds sustained last Thursday. Haniyeh had suffered critical injuries as a result of a bombing carried out by an Israeli drone in the Al-Nasr neighborhood west of Gaza City, raising the number of victims of recent aerial targeting that pursues civilians in residential areas.
In Khan Yunis city, south of the Strip, field sources reported that a young man was moderately injured by direct gunfire from Israeli army forces stationed around the Austrian neighborhood. Occupation forces continue to target Palestinian movements in the western areas of the city, which constitutes a clear violation of existing field understandings and continuous risks to the lives of citizens.
For his part, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem stated that the Israeli occupation is committing widespread and organized violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025. Qassem pointed out that these violations did not stop at direct killing, but also included restricting humanitarian aid and obstructing international relief efforts urgently needed by the residents of the Strip.
The movement's spokesman revealed a shocking statistic, confirming the martyrdom of more than a thousand people since the ceasefire agreement came into actual effect. He considered that the continuation of Israeli military operations aims to impose a new field reality, especially with the expansion of the so-called 'Yellow Line' which devours new areas of the Strip's land and leads to the displacement of families and the destruction of their homes.
Qassem stressed the need for a firm international stance, calling on mediators to exert effective pressure on the occupation government to stop these transgressions. He also called for the necessity of allowing the national committee to enter the Gaza Strip without obstacles, to begin its tasks of overseeing real relief operations and starting the reconstruction file awaited by thousands of displaced people due to the war.
On the political front, sources in the movement confirmed that consultations with mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey have not stopped, with the aim of reaching a formula that ensures the full and fair implementation of the ceasefire agreement. The movement clarified that the current goal is to complete the provisions of the first phase and establish clear executive mechanisms for transitioning to the second phase of the agreement, ensuring the rights of the Palestinian people.
In this context, Qassem announced an upcoming visit by a high-level delegation from the Hamas movement and resistance factions to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, in the coming days. This visit aims to deliver the official response of the factions regarding the new approaches recently proposed by mediators to overcome the obstacles Israel is placing before the implementation of the agreement.
These diplomatic moves come at a sensitive time, as Cairo, with international support, seeks to complete the implementation of US President Donald Trump's plan for the Gaza Strip. The plan essentially aims to establish permanent calm and transition from emergency aid to a stage of economic and political stability, which is currently clashing with continuous field violations.
The sources concluded by emphasizing that Palestinian factions are dealing with the proposed suggestions with high responsibility, but they stipulate international guarantees for a complete cessation of Israeli aggression. The upcoming round of talks in Cairo remains the bet for shaping the next phase, amidst popular anticipation for an end to humanitarian suffering and the permanent opening of crossings.
More than a thousand martyrs have fallen since the ceasefire came into effect as a result of continuous Israeli violations.
