New truce violation: Two martyrs and widespread attacks targeting displaced people and schools in Gaza

The Gaza Strip witnessed a new field escalation on Thursday, as Israeli occupation forces committed a series of violations targeting civilians and displaced people. These attacks resulted in the martyrdom of two people and serious injuries to a woman, in a clear violation of the existing truce agreement, exacerbating the already deteriorating humanitarian conditions in various governorate of the Strip.

In details of the field crimes, medical sources reported the martyrdom of 13-year-old child Ritaj Abdul Raouf Raihan, as a result of being directly shot by the occupation forces. The incident occurred while the child was inside an educational tent belonging to 'Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah' school in the Beit Lahia area north of the Strip, where she was receiving her lessons before being surprised by Israeli bullets.

In the southern part of the Strip, a drone belonging to the occupation army targeted the Mawasi Rafah area, which is crowded with thousands of displaced people who sought safety there. This aerial bombardment led to the martyrdom of young man Youssef Khalil Mansour (33 years old), which caused a state of panic and terror among families residing in tents and shelters in the area.

The attacks did not stop there, as a Palestinian woman was injured by bullets from Israeli military vehicles stationed in the Al-Dhahr area in Beit Lahia. Local sources stated that the injury occurred inside the walls of 'Tel Al-Zaatar' school, where the vehicles continue to fire randomly and intensely towards displacement centers and neighboring residential areas since the early morning hours.

In a related context, Israeli artillery renewed its intense shelling of the eastern areas of Khan Yunis city, coinciding with heavy gunfire targeting citizens' properties and homes. These military movements put the ceasefire agreement at a serious test, in light of the continued systematic targeting of infrastructure and unarmed civilians in both border and internal areas.

For its part, the Palestinian Ministry of Health issued a periodic report revealing alarming figures for the victims of the ongoing aggression. The ministry stated that the number of martyrs since the announcement of the truce on October 11, 2025, has reached 736 martyrs, while the number of injured has risen to 2035, reflecting the extent of the field violations carried out by the occupation army on a daily basis.

Regarding the cumulative statistics since October 7, 2023, the ministry recorded the martyrdom of 72,315 people and the injury of 171,137 others in an unprecedented toll. Human rights activists appealed to the international community and the sponsors of the agreement for immediate intervention to pressure the occupation authorities to stop these crimes, warning that international silence gives the green light for the continuation of policies of killing and abuse.

The total number of martyrs since the announcement of the ceasefire on October 11 is about 736 martyrs, amid continued blatant violations of international conventions.
