Israeli occupation forces carried out multiple attacks across the Gaza Strip at dawn Sunday, killing eight Palestinians and injuring many others in strikes targeting northern, central, and southern areas of the besieged enclave.
Northern Gaza: Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Al‑Awda Hospital
In Jabalia, four Palestinians were killed when Israeli warplanes bombed a tent belonging to a displaced family in the Al‑Falluja area, igniting fires that spread through nearby shelters.
Civil defense teams identified the slain Palestinians as:
– Eyad Abu Askar
– Ahmad Hassan
– Abdul‑Karim Al‑Bayyari
– Mohannad Krazem
Residents reported that the strike occurred amid continuous artillery shelling across Jabalia and surrounding neighborhoods, severely hindering rescue operations.
In Beit Lahia, a Palestinian man was moderately wounded when an Israeli drone opened fire on the Al‑Manshiya area. He was transferred to Al‑Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City for treatment.
Separately, Al‑Awda Hospital reported that a young girl was injured by Israeli gunfire after occupation forces targeted tents sheltering displaced families in the Netzarim area, located in the central part of the Strip but treated medically through northern facilities due to access constraints.
Southern Gaza: Khan Younis and Maslakh Area
In Khan Younis, four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli bombing targeting the city. They were identified as:
– Bara’ ash‑Shaqra
– Wasim Shahin
– Firas Najjar
– Ahmad al‑Byouk
Israeli aircraft also launched two airstrikes on the Maslakh area, south of Khan Younis, followed by another strike on the western outskirts of the city.
Medical teams reported multiple injuries, with victims transported to the European Hospital and Nasser Medical Complex.
Civil defense crews said the destruction in the targeted zones has made rescue operations extremely difficult, especially with ongoing drone surveillance and intermittent fire. Search efforts continue for individuals believed to be trapped beneath the rubble.
Meanwhile, the Nasser Medical Complex confirmed that two Palestinians were injured by Israeli fire outside the army’s deployment zones in central and western Khan Younis.
Al‑Jazeera’s correspondent reported that Israeli forces demolished buildings and carried out airstrikes in areas where the army remains deployed east of Khan Younis, Rafah, and Gaza City, with residents describing repeated explosions and the sound of heavy machinery.
Israeli military vehicles also fired barrages of live rounds, and many flares, at areas north of Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost part.
Gaza City: Shuja’iyya, Zeitoun, and Tuffah
In Gaza City, Israeli armored vehicles opened heavy live fire east of the Shuja’iyya and Zeitoun neighborhoods, forcing families to shelter indoors and preventing ambulances from reaching wounded civilians.
Israeli artillery also shelled northern and northeastern areas of the city, particularly along the Salahuddin Corridor, where thousands of displaced Palestinians are concentrated.
Additional shelling targeted the Ramzon and Sanafur areas of the Tuffah neighborhood, intensifying pressure on already overwhelmed emergency crews.
Central Gaza: Netzarim Corridor
Medical teams in the central region reported that the young girl injured in the Netzarim area was struck by Israeli gunfire as occupation forces targeted tents housing displaced families.
She sustained moderate injuries and received initial treatment before being transferred for further care.
Escalation Despite “Ceasefire”
Field reports from journalists and humanitarian workers indicate that Israeli forces continue to carry out attacks across the Strip despite the declared ceasefire framework.
The bombardment has repeatedly struck areas densely populated with displaced families, particularly in northern Gaza, eastern Gaza City, and Khan Younis.
Emergency crews warn that the inability to retrieve victims is creating a secondary humanitarian crisis, as bodies remain trapped under collapsed homes and in open areas exposed to ongoing fire.
Humanitarian organizations describe the situation as catastrophic: Gaza’s health system is barely functioning, food and water supplies remain critically low, and thousands of families are living in makeshift shelters that offer no protection from bombardment or winter conditions.
Casualty Figures
Since the “ceasefire” announcement on October 11, 2025, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reports:
– 591 Palestinians killed
– 1,598 injured
– 726 bodies recovered from destroyed neighborhoods
The cumulative toll of the genocide, now in its seventeenth month, continues to rise. Since October 7, 2023:
– 72,051 Palestinians have been killed
– 171,706 have been injured
Health officials stress that these figures represent only the documented cases that reached hospitals; the real numbers are believed to be significantly higher, with thousands still missing under the rubble or in areas inaccessible to emergency teams.
