4 Martyrs in Gaza and the Rising Toll of Occupation Violations Since the Truce

Israeli occupation forces committed a series of new aggressions in the Gaza Strip at dawn today, Tuesday, resulting in the martyrdom of four Palestinian citizens in various areas of the Strip. Medical and field sources reported that an aerial bombardment targeted a gathering of citizens near the Al-Zagzoog intersection in the Al-Amal neighborhood northwest of Khan Yunis city, leading to the immediate death of three young men. The skies of the area witnessed intensive flights of warplanes following the attack that occurred in the middle of the night.

Regarding the details of the victims, local sources stated that the martyrs in the Khan Yunis raid were Darwish Al-Attal, Saad Abu Hilal, and Majed Abu Moussa, noting a state of deep sorrow that prevailed in the area, especially since Al-Attal had just gotten married a few days earlier. Concurrently, Israeli warships targeted the northern coasts of the Strip, leading to the martyrdom of citizen Hiba Jamal Abu Shaqfa in the Al-Salateen area west of Beit Lahia, following direct gunfire towards the area.

These field developments come amidst the ongoing daily Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect last October. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health, the number of martyrs since the truce began has reached 777, in addition to more than 2,193 others who sustained various injuries. Reports also indicated that civil defense teams were able to recover 761 bodies from under the rubble in various governorates of the Strip during the truce period.

Overall, the cumulative toll of the Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, continues to record record numbers, reaching 72,553 martyrs and 172,296 injuries. In contrast, the Israeli occupation army admitted to the killing of 5 of its soldiers during military operations in Gaza since the last agreement came into effect, amidst continuing field tensions that threaten the collapse of the fragile truce in light of ongoing bombardment and gunfire.

Israeli violations and aggressions since the agreement came into effect have resulted in the martyrdom of 777 Palestinians and the injury of 2,193 others.
