Israeli occupation forces continued their violations of the “ceasefire” agreement for the 239th consecutive day across the Gaza Strip, where a Palestinian woman was killed, and two men died from wounds sustained earlier, while 16 others were injured at dawn Friday in an Israeli attack southwest of Khan Younis.
Medical sources confirmed the arrival of the slain young woman Bushra Hani Hassan Al‑Barahma, 18, and 16 wounded Palestinians at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, after Israeli Apache helicopters fired two missiles at tents sheltering displaced families at dawn, killing her, and injuring many others.
Furthermore, Israeli aircraft struck a tent of a displaced family in the Qatari Camp in Khan Younis.
In a separate incident, Abdul‑Rahman Sha’at, 34, from Khan Younis, succumbed to wounds he sustained on Thursday when Israeli forces bombed a commercial shop in the Tel Al‑Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.
Another Palestinian man, Mansour Jamil Abu Aser, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Omar Al‑Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City.
Israeli ceasefire violations over the past 24 hours resulted in the killing of 14 Palestinians and the injury of at least 32 several others across the Strip.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli forces placed additional yellow concrete blocks northwest of Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost part, while tanks advanced along multiple axes to expand areas under Israeli control amid heavy gunfire.
In Gaza City, Israeli naval vessels shelled the coastline, while Israeli armored units stationed in the northern Strip opened fire toward ash-Sham’a Street in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza. Israeli artillery also targeted areas east of Al‑Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
Since the “ceasefire” began on October 11, 2025, the total number of Palestinians killed has risen to 947, in addition to 2,935 wounded, while 781 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble.
Furthermore, the Israeli army bombarded and completely leveled a Palestinian home in the town of az‑Zawaida, in central Gaza, destroying the structure and leaving the surrounding area heavily damaged.
Local sources reported that the strike caused extensive debris to scatter across nearby streets and added that civil defense crews struggled to reach the site due to ongoing shelling in the vicinity.
Israel has now killed at least 72,956 Palestinians, and injured more than 173,043, in several parts of the devastated and besieged Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are now living in tents and improvised shelters across the Gaza Strip after Israeli attacks destroyed their homes or rendered them structurally uninhabitable. This has forced repeated displacement, pushing families into areas that lack even the most basic conditions required for survival.
🚨HORRIBLE: Without prior warning, four residential apartments in Gaza City were struck at dawn yesterday, resulting in the deaths of nine people, including children.

The current living environment offers no privacy, no functioning sanitation systems, and extremely limited access to clean water.
Many families have erected makeshift tents on mud or sand that quickly turns into stagnant pools during rainfall, while others are packed into overcrowded shelters with poor ventilation and minimal essential supplies.
Humanitarian organizations — including the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), UNRWA, UNFPA, and UN Women — report that some families have been displaced five or six times, carrying whatever belongings they can salvage as they move from one location to another in search of relative safety, despite the fact that every part of the Gaza Strip remains under continuous attack.
