UNICEF: The conflict in Gaza claims the lives of two children daily since the ceasefire agreement.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) announced on Friday a concerning statistic regarding the number of child victims in the Gaza Strip, despite the ceasefire agreement being in effect for a month.

The organization revealed that at least 67 children have been martyred in "conflict-related incidents" within the strip over the past month.

UNICEF clarified that this figure means "two children are martyred daily" on average, indicating the fragility of the security situation and the ongoing danger facing civilians, especially children, despite the declared calm.

The eastern areas of Khan Younis city, in southern Gaza, have witnessed the most intense military escalation in days since the morning hours of Friday, characterized by heavy shelling and demolition of buildings, alongside ground movements of occupation forces.

Field sources reported that the occupation's warplanes launched a series of violent airstrikes, accompanied by heavy and random artillery shelling targeting residential neighborhoods east of the city.

The sources explained that this fire cover "facilitated the advance of tanks and military vehicles," which were positioned within what is known as the "yellow line," the buffer zones or incursion areas defined by the occupation army.

In a notable development, the occupation army began carrying out "demolition operations of residential buildings" within this line, indicating an attempt to expand the buffer zones or conduct new offensive maneuvers.

In a related context, medical sources at the "Nasser Medical Complex" confirmed the martyrdom of a Palestinian displaced person due to injuries sustained from the occupation army's fire.

The sources clarified that the martyr was injured in an area located "outside the yellow line" south of Khan Younis city, indicating an expansion of the targeting circle to include areas that are supposed to be relatively distant from direct incursion.
