Six Palestinians, including a journalist, were killed and others wounded early Saturday at dawn, when Israeli warplanes struck a police point at the entrance of the Al‑Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, in a new violation of the “ceasefire” agreement that Israel has repeatedly breached since October 2025.
Al-Jazeera quoted medical sources confirming six fatalities, and many injuries, some seriously, while some medical sources indicated the toll may be higher.
The slain Palestinians have been identified as:
- Mohammad Sayyed (Journalist).
- Ali Sami Shaqra.
- Mousa Saleh.
- Salim Al-Maghari.
- Mohammad Ibrahim Al-Maqousi.
- Abu Hasan al-Mabhouh.
The strike targeted a police checkpoint in the Bloc 9 area at the camp’s entrance, causing extensive destruction and leaving several of the wounded in critical condition. Civil defense teams worked through the night to recover bodies and evacuate the injured.
The attack came amid a sustained pattern of Israeli violations across the Gaza Strip, including airstrikes, artillery fire, and gunfire from tanks, drones, and naval vessels. These assaults continue to cause daily casualties despite the “ceasefire” having been in place for six months.
The “ceasefire,” which took effect on October 10, 2025, followed a lengthy and difficult negotiation process after two years of Israeli military operations that devastated the Gaza Strip.
Yet Israel has continued to breach the agreement both militarily and politically, restricting humanitarian access, delaying reconstruction, and maintaining a tight blockade that international agencies warn is deepening the humanitarian crisis.

Monitoring groups have documented thousands of violations since the ceasefire began, including shootings, shelling, drone strikes, and incursions beyond designated lines. Earlier this year, Israeli strikes targeted police posts in Khan Yunis and Al‑Bureij, killing several police personnel and civilians.
Among the most recent victims of these violations was Mohammad Wishah, a journalist with Al‑Jazeera Mubasher, who was killed when an Israeli drone strike hit the vehicle he was traveling in in western Gaza. Al‑Jazeera described the killing as a deliberate attack on journalists and a continuation of a pattern aimed at silencing media coverage from the Strip.

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that a leaked internal Hamas document showed the movement’s rejection of international proposals to dismantle its weapons in exchange for reconstruction.
According to these reports, Hamas representatives met with a U.S. official in Cairo to discuss the issue, but the leaked document affirmed the movement’s position that its weapons remain a legitimate means of defense as long as the Israeli occupation persists.

The document stated that any discussion of weapons must be tied to a complete end to the occupation, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the lifting of the blockade.
Israeli security officials told local media that the army is preparing operational plans to resume large‑scale military action if no progress is made on the disarmament file.
Since the “ceasefire” was reached on October 11, 2025, Israel has carried out more than 2,000 violations, killing 738 Palestinians and injuring 2,036 others.
