Including a sanitation worker... 3 martyrs in Israeli raids targeting Khan Yunis and Al-Bureij refugee camp

Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip continued today, Saturday, as two airstrikes resulted in the martyrdom of three Palestinian citizens and the injury of others. The targeting focused on areas in the southern and central parts of the Strip, reflecting the ongoing escalation despite existing understandings, amid public concern about the increasing pace of drone raids targeting civilian gatherings.

In details of the aggression, medical sources at Nasser Hospital reported the arrival of the bodies of two martyrs due to shelling carried out by an occupation drone targeting a gathering of citizens in the Al-Amal neighborhood in Khan Yunis city. The raid also caused moderate injuries to a child, who was transferred for necessary treatment amid difficult health conditions suffered by the medical sector.

In another raid, occupation aircraft targeted a landfill located near the Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, leading to the martyrdom of a sanitation worker and the injury of a colleague. Local sources confirmed that the martyr was performing his professional duty of collecting waste for Al-Bureij municipality at the moment of his direct targeting by Israeli aircraft, in a new crime targeting service personnel.

These developments come in the context of a series of continuous Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement announced on October 10, 2025. According to data from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, these violations have so far led to the martyrdom of 983 people and the injury of more than 3122 others, putting the agreement on the verge of complete collapse.

For its part, the Israeli occupation army admitted in a statement issued on Friday to killing 20 Palestinians in various areas of the Gaza Strip during the past week. The occupation claimed in its justification for these operations that those targeted belonged to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, which are the pretexts it usually uses to justify targeting populated areas and civilians.

Regarding the total toll, official statistics indicate that the ongoing genocide since October 2023 has resulted in approximately 73,000 martyrs and more than 173,000 injured. These staggering figures reflect the magnitude of the humanitarian catastrophe that has befallen the Strip, amid international silence and an inability to stop the Israeli killing machine that has spared no one.

In addition to human losses, Israeli military operations have caused widespread destruction affecting about 90% of the civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. This systematic destruction includes water and electricity networks, roads, and public facilities, making daily life for the remaining residents a continuous struggle for survival in the absence of basic services.

The martyr was one of the sanitation workers in Al-Bureij municipality, and the Israeli aircraft targeted him while he was working at the landfill.
