Field sources reported today, Thursday, the martyrdom of a Palestinian citizen as a result of direct gunfire by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Beit Lahia, located north of the Gaza Strip. This crime comes within a series of continuous violations of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect in October of last year, with the targeted area falling outside the temporary military control of the occupation.
Regarding the attacks in Beit Lahia, medical sources confirmed the injury of a five-year-old child with serious wounds, after being directly targeted by Israeli occupation army bullets. Hospitals also received two other injured individuals who suffered gunshot wounds to their lower extremities, with their health conditions classified as moderate as a result of this blatant assault.
Gaza City witnessed a military escalation at dawn today, represented by intense aerial and artillery bombardment targeting the eastern neighborhoods of the city, especially the areas of Al-Zaytoun, Al-Shuja'iyya, and Al-Tuffah. This bombardment coincided with intense helicopter overflights that fired their machine guns heavily towards citizens' homes, causing a state of panic among the residents who suffer the woes of the siege.
In the coastal areas, the tents of the displaced were not spared from targeting, as Israeli warships fired heavily near the coast of Al-Shati refugee camp and the fishermen's port. These systematic attacks target gatherings of displaced people who have sought refuge in tents after their homes were destroyed, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in these overcrowded areas.
The central areas of the Strip were also subjected to concentrated artillery shelling, with several shells falling in the vicinity of Juhor ad-Dik area and northeast of Al-Bureij refugee camp. Occupation forces continue to target agricultural lands and border areas in an attempt to impose a new security reality that hinders the return of normal life for citizens in those areas.
In the southern part of the Strip, warplanes carried out two airstrikes targeting areas east of Khan Yunis city, while Al-Mawasi area northwest of Rafah was subjected to intense artillery shelling. Al-Mawasi area is considered one of the areas that shelters thousands of displaced people, making any military targeting of it a grave danger to the lives of unarmed civilians.
Official statistics indicate that the death toll from occupation violations of the ceasefire agreement since October 10, 2025, has risen to 651 martyrs and 1741 injured. These figures reflect the extent of Israeli disregard for international agreements and the continuation of the systematic killing policy against Palestinians despite the declared calm.
Regarding the total toll of the aggression that began in October 2023, relevant authorities have documented the martyrdom of 72,136 Palestinians and the injury of approximately 171,839 others with varying degrees of wounds. Civil defense and ambulance crews have also been able to recover the bodies of 756 martyrs from under the rubble and from areas of incursion since the last ceasefire agreement came into effect.
In a related context, two prisoners from the Gaza Strip were released through the Kerem Shalom crossing, while more than 9300 Palestinians remain in occupation prisons. Human rights reports confirm that prisoners face harsh conditions, including systematic torture and deliberate medical neglect, which puts their lives in real danger.
At the level of material destruction, United Nations estimates indicate that the cost of rebuilding what the occupation destroyed in the Gaza Strip exceeds 70 billion dollars. Widespread destruction has affected about 90% of civilian infrastructure, requiring immense international efforts and many years to restore life to the afflicted Strip.
The occupation army continues to commit daily violations of the ceasefire agreement, resulting in the martyrdom of 651 Palestinians since October 2025.
