12 Dead, Including a Leader in Al-Quds Brigades, in a Series of Israeli Violations of the Ceasefire Agreement in Gaza

Tension escalated in the Gaza Strip following a series of Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling that resulted in the martyrdom of 12 Palestinians since dawn today, Sunday. Field sources confirmed the assassination of Sami Al-Dahdouh, a leader in Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, after targeting a gathering of citizens near the University College in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City, raising the death toll from Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since last October.

In details of the field massacres, medical sources reported the martyrdom of 5 citizens in an airstrike that targeted a group of civilians southwest of Khan Yunis, while 4 others were martyred due to a drone shelling a displaced persons' tent in the Faluja area, west of Jabalia town. Al-Shifa Hospital also received a martyr and several injured who fell in an Israeli targeting of citizens near the Western Beit Lahia roundabout in the northern part of the Strip, amid continued indiscriminate artillery shelling on the Al-Tuffah, Al-Shujaiya, and Al-Zaytoun neighborhoods.

In parallel with the raids, the occupation army carried out extensive demolition and bombing operations of residential buildings northeast of Jabalia camp and around Al-Radea Street in Beit Lahia city, accompanied by intense gunfire from military vehicles. These developments come at a time when the occupation authorities claim to have monitored movements of Palestinian militants, which resistance factions considered an attempt to impose a new bloody reality and a blatant violation of the international understandings sponsored by the United States.

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health, Israeli violations since the signing of the ceasefire agreement have resulted in the martyrdom of 601 Palestinians and the injury of more than 1600 others. These attacks add to the record of ongoing genocide for two years, which has left more than 72,000 martyrs and destruction affecting 90% of the Strip's infrastructure, with an estimated reconstruction cost of up to 70 billion dollars.

The occupation army committed hundreds of violations of the ceasefire agreement, resulting in the martyrdom of 601 Palestinians and the injury of 1607 since its inception.
