A number of Palestinian martyrs and wounded fell this Sunday morning, following a series of air raids carried out by Israeli occupation aircraft on various areas in the Gaza Strip. These field developments come amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since last October 10, which put an end to a two-year war of extermination.
In the southern Strip, field sources confirmed the martyrdom of four citizens as a result of a direct targeting by an Israeli drone in the Al-Maslakh area, west of Khan Yunis city. The sources explained that 'quadcopter' aircraft fired heavily in the vicinity of the operation, which hindered the arrival of ambulance crews to transport the injured, who remained bleeding at the targeting site for a long time.
As for the northern Strip, four other Palestinians were martyred as a result of shelling carried out by an Israeli drone targeting a gathering of citizens and a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Faluja area. This attack coincided with air raids and intense artillery shelling that targeted the Sheikh Zayed area and Jabalia camp, with the participation of military helicopters that fired heavily at citizens' homes.
Saturday witnessed a similar escalation that resulted in the injury of four Palestinians, including two girls and an elderly man, by bullets and shells from the occupation army in various areas of the Strip, especially in the Al-Manshiya area in Beit Lahia. These repeated attacks reflect the fragility of Israeli commitment to international understandings sponsored by regional and international parties within initiatives to end the conflict.
For its part, the Hebrew media claimed that army forces spotted five fighters emerging from a tunnel opening in the Beit Hanoun area north of the Strip and dealt with them. Channel 12 Hebrew claimed, quoting military sources, that initial estimates indicate the killing of four of these fighters, noting that the military operation in that area is still ongoing.
These breaches deepen the wounds of the Gaza Strip, which is still recovering from the effects of the two-year war that left more than 72,000 martyrs and 171,000 wounded, according to official statistics. That war caused the destruction of nearly 90% of the infrastructure and residential facilities, making daily life for residents extremely difficult and complex.
On the international level, the United Nations estimates the cost of rebuilding what the Israeli war machine destroyed at about $70 billion, at a time when residents face enormous challenges in securing shelter and basic services. Observers fear that these continuous breaches will lead to a complete collapse of the ceasefire agreement and a return to comprehensive confrontation.
The injured are still at the bombing site, and ambulances cannot reach them due to heavy firing from quadcopter aircraft.
