Martyrs and wounded in a new massacre targeting displaced persons' tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis

Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre against displaced persons in the Gaza Strip, where a child and a woman were martyred and about 20 others were injured with varying degrees of severity, as a result of an aerial bombardment that targeted shelter tents in the Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis city. Field sources reported that two helicopter aircraft launched their missiles towards 'Ghayth' camp, which is crowded with thousands of families displaced from their homes, causing a state of panic and widespread destruction in the area.

Medical teams confirmed the arrival of the bodies of the martyred child Menna Allah Abu Labda, six years old, and citizen Hanan Mahmoud (31 years old) at the hospital, in addition to dozens of injuries, most of whom were women and children. Eyewitnesses described the bombing as direct and targeting an area that was supposed to be 'safe' according to previous classifications, where the displaced persons' tents were torn apart and their simple belongings were scattered under the rubble.

In a related context, medical sources at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis announced the martyrdom of a young Palestinian who succumbed to serious injuries he sustained days ago as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted him in the western area of the city. Medical staff at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City also recorded the martyrdom of another Palestinian who had been injured in a raid targeting a police site north of the Strip two days ago, raising the death toll in recent hours.

The attacks did not stop there, as warplanes launched a raid at dawn today targeting a house belonging to the Al-Bashiti family in Al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in two injuries among citizens. These rapid field developments come amid the continued systematic Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025.

Official data issued by the Ministry of Health in Gaza indicates that the pace of Israeli attacks since the agreement came into force has led to the martyrdom of 904 Palestinians and the injury of 2713 others until Monday. These figures reflect the extent of the ongoing violations of the fragile truce, as the occupation army continues to target residential areas and shelter centers in various governorates of the Strip without international deterrence.

This escalation comes two years after the comprehensive genocide war launched by Israel on the Gaza Strip since October 8, 2023, which left a heavy legacy of death and destruction. According to documented statistics, the number of martyrs has exceeded 72,000, while the number of injured has surpassed 172,000, in one of the most horrific humanitarian disasters witnessed in the current century.

Regarding infrastructure, the war caused the destruction of nearly 90% of civilian facilities and vital installations in the Strip, making life there almost impossible. Reports issued by the United Nations estimated the cost of rebuilding what was destroyed by the Israeli war machine at about 70 billion dollars, amid a complete disruption of basic services such as water, electricity, and sanitation.

In the current situation, Israel imposes its military control over more than half of the Gaza Strip, including strategic areas and main separation axes. In contrast, Palestinian control is limited to a narrow, densely populated coastal strip, where hundreds of thousands of displaced persons suffer harsh living conditions awaiting a political solution to end their ongoing suffering.

The Israeli airstrike on the camp, which houses displaced families, resulted in the martyrdom of the child Menna Allah Abu Labda and Ms. Hanan Mahmoud.
