Assassination of Khan Yunis Investigations Director and Martyrs in a Series of Israeli Violations in the Gaza Strip

Israeli occupation forces escalated their field violations in the Gaza Strip early this Sunday morning, carrying out a series of aerial and artillery attacks that resulted in the martyrdom of three individuals and the injury of several citizens with varying degrees of wounds. These developments come in the context of continuous breaches of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, threatening the stability of the fragile situation in the region.

In a direct assassination operation, occupation aircraft targeted a civilian vehicle in the Al-Amal neighborhood, west of Khan Yunis city in the southern Strip, leading to the martyrdom of the city's police investigations director, Wissam Fayez Abdel Hadi. The General Directorate of Police confirmed that the raid also resulted in the martyrdom of Sergeant Fadi Abdel Moati Heikal, who was accompanying the investigations director, describing the operation as a direct targeting of police personnel performing their service duties.

The attacks did not stop there, as field sources reported that the occupation army's artillery launched intense shelling targeting the outskirts of Al-Qarara town, north of Khan Yunis city, causing panic among local residents. This shelling coincided with military movements in border areas, even though these areas are outside the scope of deployment and control of Israeli forces agreed upon in the recent truce terms.

In the central Gaza Strip, an Israeli drone targeted a gathering of citizens in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, leading to the martyrdom of one Palestinian and the injury of others who were transferred to nearby hospitals for treatment. These repeated targeting of civilians in populated areas confirm the occupation's continued transgression of internationally and locally agreed-upon red lines to ensure the safety of residents.

In Gaza City, Israeli warships continued to pursue fishermen at sea, firing their machine guns and shells towards fishing boats off the coast. This aggression resulted in the injury of two fishermen while they were working, in a continuous attempt to restrict the livelihoods of Palestinians and prevent them from accessing their sources of income at sea.

On the ground east of Gaza City, the occupation army carried out widespread demolition operations that affected a number of buildings and residential facilities within the areas where it is deployed. Huge explosions were heard throughout the city resulting from the destruction of residential blocks, which falls within the systematic destruction policy of infrastructure and housing followed by the army in its areas of incursion.

In a related context, the Ministry of Health revealed in its latest reports a bloody toll since the start of the ceasefire agreement, documenting the killing of approximately 850 Palestinians and the injury of 2433 others due to ongoing Israeli aggressions. These figures reflect the scale of the humanitarian tragedy and the continued bloodshed in the Strip despite international promises of calm, placing the international community before its responsibilities towards protecting civilians.

The occupation targeted the vehicle of the Khan Yunis investigations director in the Al-Amal neighborhood, leading to his martyrdom along with one of his assistants in a clear violation of existing understandings.
