Occupation violates truce with intense raids on Gaza, death toll rises since October

Israeli occupation aircraft and artillery renewed their targeting of wide areas in the Gaza Strip today, Monday, in a continuation of a series of systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025. Local sources reported that the aerial and artillery bombardment focused on the eastern areas of Khan Yunis in the south and Deir al-Balah in the central Strip, accompanied by intense gunfire from military vehicles stationed behind the so-called 'Yellow Line'.

In Gaza City and the northern Strip, heavy artillery shelling targeted the neighborhoods of Zeitoun, Shuja'iyya, and Tuffah, in addition to targeting the northern and eastern areas of Beit Lahia. These military movements come amidst the deployment of occupation forces over an area estimated at about 53% of the Strip's territory, which are areas designated by the agreement as temporary deployment rights for the Israeli army, while it is prohibited from targeting civilians in the western areas.

Regarding human casualties, medical sources confirmed the martyrdom of two young men, Omar Sufyan Manoun and Mustafa Ahmed Zaghloul, as a result of artillery shelling that targeted the Jabalia البلد area, noting that the two martyrs fell in an area outside the agreed-upon Israeli control. These new aggressions raise the death toll since the signing of the last truce agreement to 629 martyrs and more than 1600 injured, putting the agreement on the verge of total collapse.

These field developments in Gaza coincide with a widespread military escalation on the Lebanese front, where the occupation launched violent raids on the southern suburbs of Beirut and issued evacuation orders for dozens of villages. Field sources linked the escalation in Gaza to the military operations in Lebanon, especially after Hezbollah announced targeting strategic sites south of Haifa in response to the assassination of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei in a joint American-Israeli attack.

It is worth noting that the Gaza Strip is suffering from massive destruction affecting about 90% of its infrastructure as a result of the war of extermination that began in October 2023 with direct American support. According to the latest official statistics, the total number of martyrs in the Strip since the beginning of the aggression has exceeded 72,000 martyrs, while the number of injured has exceeded 171,000, amidst catastrophic humanitarian and health conditions experienced by the besieged population.

Since the start of the ceasefire, the Israeli army has killed 629 Palestinians and injured about 1693 others through shelling and gunfire.
