Israeli occupation forces continued their violations of the “ceasefire” agreement for the 232nd consecutive day late Thursday night and early Friday, launching a series of airstrikes and drone attacks across the Gaza Strip that killed three Palestinians, wounded many and caused extensive destruction in civilian areas.
Medical sources at Nasser Medical Center in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, reported that three Palestinians were killed and others were injured when an Israeli drone bombed a Palestinian police point near the Mawasi Khan Younis area in the southern Gaza Strip.
Two of the slain Palestinians were identified as Mohammad Osama al‑Dada and Hussam Mazen Sharab, whose bodies, along with the wounded, were transferred to Nasser Medical Center.
Local sources said Israeli drones also targeted the vicinity of the slaughterhouse area in the Mawasi Khan Younis region, striking another police point and causing additional destruction.
The attacks were part of a continued pattern of Israeli strikes on the Mawasi belt, an area designated by Israel as a supposed “safe zone” for displaced civilians.
In the Mawasi al‑Qarara area northwest of Khan Younis, an Israeli strike hit agricultural land near greenhouses and a storage structure belonging to Habis al‑Astal.
Several civilians were injured, and the bombardment caused extensive damage to agricultural facilities.
Civil Defense teams later reported that they were battling a fire that broke out in tents sheltering displaced families following the strike.

Netanyahu Orders Expansion of Military Control in Gaza
In a further challenge to the ceasefire framework, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Thursday that he had ordered the army to expand the areas under its control in the Gaza Strip to 70 percent of the enclave’s total area.
His statement underscored Israel’s continued military operations and territorial expansion inside Gaza despite the declared ceasefire, and came amid ongoing bombardments, demolitions, and restrictions on movement and humanitarian aid.

Health Ministry: Rising Toll Despite Ceasefire
In its Thursday update, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported that hospitals in the Strip had received at least sixteen Palestinians killed and thirty‑nine wounded over the previous forty‑eight hours as a result of ongoing Israeli attacks.
The Ministry said that since the “ceasefire” was announced on October 11, 2025, it has documented 922 Palestinians killed, 2,786 wounded, and 781 bodies recovered from destroyed areas.
The Ministry added that the cumulative toll since the beginning of the Israeli genocide on October 7, 2023, has risen to 72,819 Palestinians killed and 172,894 wounded.
Medical authorities stressed that the actual figures are likely higher due to the scale of destruction, the lack of medical equipment and supplies, and the inability of rescue teams to reach many devastated areas where victims remain under the rubble or in zones cut off by ongoing military operations.
