Israeli occupation forces continued their violations of the ceasefire agreement, killing three Palestinians and injuring several others in attacks across the Gaza Strip, earlier Friday. The escalation comes amid growing international scrutiny, including a newly released U.S. government report suggesting Israel may have committed hundreds of violations in Gaza.
Medical sources confirmed the death of Hamdi Ahmad Al-Breem, who was killed when Israeli warplanes bombed his home in the Mosbeh neighborhood of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.
Another young man, Mohammad Salem Qdeih, died from critical injuries sustained in a previous Israeli strike that targeted a tent sheltering displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis.
A third Palestinian was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers on Al-Jala’ Street in Gaza City.
Meanwhile, Israeli naval forces opened fire off the coast of Gaza, and overnight, the Israeli army carried out demolition operations targeting homes east of Gaza City and Khan Younis, with loud explosions reported in both areas.
The Nasser Medical Complex reported injuries from an Israeli airstrike on the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, as artillery shelling and heavy gunfire continued throughout the night in eastern Khan Younis.
Amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis, a newly released report by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the U.S. State Department revealed that the Israeli military “may have committed hundreds of violations in Gaza.”

The report, finalized just days before the current ceasefire agreement, raises fundamental questions about potential U.S. legal obligations and whether Israel could face accountability for its conduct.
The OIG is also investigating allegations that Hamas and other armed groups diverted humanitarian aid, including food and medical supplies. The watchdog is collecting evidence of aid theft and interference in distribution, while also citing obstruction from UN agencies in accessing internal findings.
Separately, the State Department’s legal review found “reasonable evidence that Israel violated international humanitarian law using U.S.-supplied weapons.”
While the report stopped short of directly attributing specific violations to U.S. arms, it marked the first formal acknowledgment by the U.S. government of possible Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

The humanitarian situation remains dire. Christian Lindmeier, spokesperson for the World Health Organization, stated that Gaza urgently needs over 600 humanitarian aid trucks—a figure that reflects pre-war needs and falls far short of current requirements.
He emphasized the importance of disease surveillance, lab operations, critical injury care, medical evacuations, and restoring basic health services.

Gaza’s healthcare system is on the brink of collapse, unable to provide adequate care to tens of thousands of wounded and sick civilians.
The crisis has been exacerbated by Israeli restrictions on the entry of medicines and medical supplies into hospitals and specialized centers.
A- Jazeera correspondent Hani Al-Shaer documented the dire medical conditions inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention to prevent further loss of life.
The death toll from Israel’s genocide in Gaza has now surpassed 68,527, with more than 170,395 injured since it began in October 2023. These figures do not include casualties from the mass bombing in Beit Lahia on October 29 or the attacks in North Gaza on October 25–26.
