Earlier, Jamal Moshtaha was killed while inspecting the remains of his home on the outskirts of the Al‑Shuja’iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza, an area repeatedly targeted despite the ceasefire.
At dawn, four Israeli howitzer shells struck the eastern edges of the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, causing additional casualties and widespread panic among residents.
At dawn Monday, Israeli soldiers fired live rounds at a car for the World Health Organization driving on the Salahuddin Street, killing the driver, Majdi Aslan.
This came after Israeli forces opened fire on United Nations vehicles, also wounding several UN humanitarian staff members and damaging multiple vehicles.
In addition, Israeli forces on Monday prevented a new group of humanitarian cases from leaving, and others from returning to, the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that the World Health Organization informed the Red Crescent that travel for all humanitarian cases — including patients and their companions — has been suspended, and that the return of cases from the Egyptian side back into Gaza has also been halted.
On Sunday afternoon, two Palestinians were killed and several others injured in renewed Israeli ceasefire violations in the southern region of the Strip.
Medical teams also confirmed the killing of Ziad Nabahin, a man with disabilities, after Israeli forces opened fire on him in the Lemon Orchards area south of Khan Younis.
Rescue crews later recovered the body of Mousa Nael Mousa Abu Amer from the Al‑Qal’a Towers area in southern Khan Younis.
A four‑year‑old child, Arkan Mohammad Khalil Barbakh, was also injured by shrapnel from an Israeli artillery shell near Abu Hmeid Roundabout in central Khan Younis.
Israeli military vehicles simultaneously opened fire toward the northeastern outskirts of Al‑Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, adding to the day’s violations.
