Two martyrs and wounded in continuous Israeli violations of the Gaza ceasefire agreement

Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip continued, with two Palestinians martyred and others injured by the bullets and shelling of the occupation army in various areas in the central and southern parts of the Strip. These bloody field developments come amid the ongoing truce agreement, which was supposed to be in effect since October 10, 2025, and which has witnessed repeated violations leading to hundreds of casualties.

In details of the field attacks, medical sources confirmed the martyrdom of the young man Ammar Talal Abu Shab after he was directly shot by occupation forces in the eastern Al-Satar area, located north of Khan Yunis city. This coincided with Israeli military movements in the border areas of the Strip, leading to a state of extreme tension among citizens attempting to inspect their properties.

In the central Strip, an occupation drone launched a raid targeting the vicinity of Al-Qastal towers east of Deir al-Balah city, resulting in one martyr and another citizen sustaining various injuries. Local sources reported that the shelling targeted a gathering of citizens, and the victims were transferred to nearby hospitals amid the continued hovering of drones in the region's airspace.

According to the latest data issued by the Ministry of Health, the total death toll from the occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 72,608 martyrs, in addition to 172,445 injured. These figures reflect the scale of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe despite international attempts to establish a ceasefire that remains fragile.

Regarding the violations of the recent agreement, the Ministry stated in a statement on Saturday that the number of martyrs since the truce began last October reached 828 martyrs and 2,342 injured. These statistics indicate that Israeli military operations have not actually stopped, but have taken forms of concentrated targeting, and intermittent aerial and artillery shelling.

Politically, informed sources revealed intentions by the administration of US President Donald Trump to close the civil-military coordination center run by Washington near the Gaza Strip. This intention comes amid sharp criticism of the center for its failure to effectively monitor the truce, and its limited ability to secure access to necessary humanitarian aid for the besieged population.

In contrast, the so-called 'Peace Council' denied these reports, asserting that the coordination center would continue its duties in the region to ensure communication mechanisms. However, observers believe that the center lacks the real powers that would enable it to enforce a ceasefire on the ground, especially with the Israeli side's insistence on continuing its military operations within the cities and camps of the Strip.

Israeli violations of the agreement since its inception have resulted in the martyrdom of 828 Palestinians and the injury of 2,342 others.
