Medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced the martyrdom of 8 Palestinians during the past twenty-four hours, as a result of various Israeli attacks. With this new toll, the number of victims of the genocide war since October 2023 rises to 72,988 martyrs, amid continued field violations targeting civilians and infrastructure in various areas of the Strip.
In a simultaneous field development, the Union of Fishermen's Committees reported that Israeli occupation naval forces attacked Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of Gaza. The operation resulted in the arrest of 9 fishermen and their transfer to an unknown destination, which represents a new escalation against a group suffering from a severe blockade and continuous restrictions on their livelihood at sea.
For its part, the Israeli occupation army claimed to have carried out airstrikes targeting what it described as the main headquarters of the Hamas naval police in the Khan Yunis area in the southern Strip. The military statement claimed that the bombing also targeted three weapons depots that were prepared to carry out attacks against Israeli forces stationed in the area, noting that these sites were used for military planning.
Local sources confirmed that the recent Israeli bombing led to the death of a number of resistance fighters, including the field commander in the military wing of Hamas, Ismail Al-Lahham. These raids come despite the ceasefire agreement that began on October 10, 2025, raising questions about the stability of the calm in light of repeated violations.
Regarding violations against humanitarian personnel, the Palestinian Ministry of Health revealed that the occupation army arrested 7 paramedics belonging to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. The arrest took place while the medical team was passing through a military checkpoint on Salah al-Din Street, which connects the north and south of the Strip, while they were performing their humanitarian duty of transporting the wounded.
In an official statement, the ministry clarified that 5 of the detained paramedics were released after undergoing harsh field investigations, while two of them remain in detention until now. Health authorities condemned this direct targeting of paramedics, stressing that these practices aim to intimidate medical teams and prevent them from providing necessary emergency services to citizens.
The Ministry of Health stressed that the continued targeting of medical teams and obstruction of their movement constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. It called on the international community and human rights organizations to intervene immediately to secure the release of the detained paramedics, and to ensure the protection of facilities and workers in the health sector from continuous Israeli attacks.
Targeting medical teams and obstructing their work constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and undermines healthcare efforts.
