Israel continued its violations of the “ceasefire agreement” in the Gaza Strip for the 262nd consecutive day on Sunday, carrying out drone strikes, artillery shelling, home demolitions, and heavy gunfire across multiple districts.
The attacks targeted displaced families, residential areas, and civilian infrastructure in Gaza City, Beit Lahia, Jabalia, Khan Younis, Rafah, and the central camps, resulting in new fatalities and dozens of injuries.
Update: A Palestinian child, Elaine Al‑Farra, 13, succumbed to severe head wounds she sustained from shrapnel after Israeli forces shelled the Ar‑Ras area near the Bani Suheila junction in Khan Younis.
Update: Several Palestinians were injured when an Israeli airstrike targeted the Tabariyya displacement camp in Al‑Mawasi, Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.
Update: Israeli forces detonated the remaining Palestinian homes surrounding the Al‑Batsh graveyard in the Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
Update: Israeli forces carried out large‑scale detonations of buildings north of Rafah, in Gaza’s southernmost region.
Update: Israeli soldiers fired several artillery shells at an area east of Deir al‑Balah, in central Gaza, targeting farmland and open spaces near residential zones. The shelling forced many displaced families to flee further inland to seek safety.
Medical teams reported that several victims remain under the rubble due to the inability of civil defense crews to reach bombed areas, while the Ministry of Health warned of a deepening humanitarian collapse marked by halted medical travel, failing dialysis machines, severe shortages of infant formula, and an escalating environmental crisis caused by more than one million tons of accumulated waste.
The latest violations occurred despite the “ceasefire” understandings reached in October 2025 through Arab and U.S. mediation.
Two young men, Wael Lubbad and Muath Ahmad, were killed and another Palestinian was critically wounded when an Israeli drone targeted a group of civilians in the Al‑Salateen area of Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza. The strike was followed by intense tank fire and artillery shelling west of the town.
In Jabalia, in northern Gaza, a Palestinian child was shot in the head by Israeli forces in the Al‑Qassaseeb area and was evacuated for treatment, though no further details were immediately available regarding his condition.
In southern Gaza, Talal Jaber Mohammad Abdul‑Aal, 45, was killed in an Israeli strike on the Al‑Mawasi area of Khan Younis.
Later in the evening, an Israeli warplane bombed a tent sheltering displaced families in Khan Younis, injuring several civilians who were transported to hospital.
Israeli military vehicles simultaneously opened heavy fire toward eastern Khan Younis, causing additional injuries in tents and homes, while similar gunfire was reported west of Rafah and northeast of Al‑Bureij refugee camp.
In Gaza City, Israeli forces bombed a tent sheltering displaced families in the Dobait area in Al‑Jalaa Street.
Civil defense teams announced the death of Sameh Abu Kmeil, who succumbed to severe wounds sustained in the strike after being transferred to hospital in critical condition.
Israeli forces and the Shin Bet also issued a joint statement claiming responsibility for the assassination of Mansour Sami Mahmoud Shahtout, described as the commander of the naval police in the central camps.
Israel said he was killed along with two others in a strike targeting their vehicle, alleging that the three were armed and posed an immediate threat to its forces deployed in Gaza.
In eastern Gaza City, Israeli forces demolished what remained of homes surrounding the Al‑Batsh cemetery in the Tuffah neighborhood and destroyed additional civilian structures in the area. Drone fire also targeted the vicinity of Al‑Hashimiya School northeast of the city.

In addition, the Ministry of Health announced the cancellation of medical travel for a number of patients scheduled to leave the Strip on Sunday due to Israel’s refusal to grant the required security permits.
The ministry said the restrictions severely limit the number of patients allowed to travel for treatment, and that months‑long waiting periods continue to delay or prevent access to life‑saving medical care.
The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate as municipal services collapse almost entirely, with more than one million tons of solid waste accumulating across the Strip and rising temperatures accelerating decomposition, increasing harmful gas emissions, and worsening environmental and health conditions.
Health officials warned of life‑threatening consequences for kidney patients, reporting that nearly half of Gaza’s dialysis machines have stopped functioning due to shortages of essential medical supplies.

Specialists also warned of escalating malnutrition among infants and children. Esraa Al‑Najjar, head of clinical nutrition at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, said infant formula for ages one and two has completely run out, with only minimal quantities of therapeutic formula remaining for critical cases.
She added that the severe shortage of milk, supplements, fruits, and vegetables poses an immediate threat to children’s physical and cognitive development.
On its part, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Sunday that it facilitated the transfer of 14 Palestinian detainees released by Israeli authorities from the Kerem Abu Salem crossing to Al‑Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza and assisted them in communicating and reuniting with their families.
The Committee said it has facilitated the transfer of more than 2,500 released detainees through this mechanism since 2023.

It added that it has not been able to access Palestinian detainees held in Israeli detention centers since October 2023, reiterating the need for Israel to disclose the fate and locations of all detainees and allow the organization to visit them.
The ICRC stressed that international humanitarian law obligates humane treatment of detainees, adequate detention conditions, and enabling them to maintain contact with their families.
It noted that many Palestinian families continue to wait for any information about their detained relatives, amid growing concern for their health and safety, and said it continues its dialogue with Israeli authorities to resume visits to all Palestinian detainees.
The Ministry of Health confirmed that hospitals received four new fatalities and forty‑three injuries in the past 24 hours. Many victims remain under the rubble or in the streets, unreachable due to the inability of ambulance and civil defense crews to access targeted areas.
Since the “ceasefire” began on October 11, the cumulative toll has reached 1,041 fatalities, 3,372 injuries, and 786 recovered bodies.
Since the start of the genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, the total number of Palestinians killed has risen to 73,054, with 173,480 injured.
