Coinciding with intensive aerial reconnaissance and heavy gunfire from military vehicles west of Gaza, 4 Palestinians were martyred on Tuesday by bullets and shelling from Israeli occupation forces in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, amidst the occupation's continued violation of the ceasefire and truce agreement for the 109th consecutive day in various areas of the Gaza Strip, accompanied by the destruction of homes and residential and civilian facilities.
Palestinian medical sources reported that the martyrs fell outside the areas of military deployment of the occupation forces, while three other citizens were injured as a result of the same assault.
According to the same sources, the martyrs fell as a result of occupation shelling targeting Al-Batsh cemetery in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City. They are: Mahmoud Ahmed Lolo, Abdul Qader Abu Khader, Abdul Karim Ghabayen, and Youssef Al-Rifi. Earlier, the body of another martyr was recovered, who succumbed to injuries from occupation shelling that targeted the neighborhood days ago.
Escalation in Al-Bureij and Khan Younis In a related context, occupation helicopters fired towards the eastern areas of Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, while occupation warships attacked Palestinian fishermen's boats in the sea off Khan Younis city, south of the Strip, using bullets and shells.
