The occupation army escalated its bloody attacks on the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of eight Palestinians in a blatant violation of the standing ceasefire agreement. Medical and field sources reported that dawn on Sunday witnessed airstrikes targeting two Palestinian police checkpoints, leading to the martyrdom of six citizens, including three security personnel and three displaced persons, among them a girl, in addition to others sustaining various injuries.
In a related context, medical teams announced the martyrdom of the young man Muqbel Mohammed Barbakh, 15 years old, after he was targeted by occupation bullets at the Bani Suheila roundabout. The injured Raed Abu Harb also succumbed to his previous wounds. These deaths add to a heavy record of violations, as government agencies have documented 2,073 breaches of the ceasefire agreement since its beginning on October 11, 2025, leading to the martyrdom of approximately 692 individuals during the supposed truce period.
On the ground, the war machine did not stop at airstrikes but also included intense artillery shelling targeting the eastern areas of the Strip, coinciding with gunfire from warships towards the beaches of Khan Yunis and the tents of displaced persons. Military helicopters also carried out heavy fire sweeping operations east of Al-Bureij refugee camp, exacerbating the panic among thousands of families living in dilapidated shelters and under the rubble of destroyed homes.
On the humanitarian front, the occupation continues to tighten its suffocating siege by closing crossings and preventing the entry of essential medical and relief aid, threatening a health catastrophe and a real famine that endangers the lives of two million Palestinians. In occupation prisons, suffering continued with the announcement of the martyrdom of prisoner Marwan Fathi Harzallah in Megiddo prison, raising the number of martyrs from the prisoner movement since October 7, 2023, to 89 martyrs, amidst Israeli legislative trends to approve a law for the execution of prisoners.
The ceasefire agreement entered its 171st day burdened with field violations and a strict siege affecting more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
