Israeli airstrikes kill four Palestinians in Gaza
Four Palestinian citizens, including a newlywed man and a woman, were martyred in separate Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, as the occupation’s violations of the ceasefire agreement persisted for the 194th consecutive day.
Local sources reported that an Israeli drone bombed a security checkpoint in the al-Amal neighborhood, west of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, killing three Palestinians. The martyrs were identified as Darwish al-Attal, Saad Abu Hilal, and Majed Abu Mousa.
In a heartbreaking detail, witnesses said al-Attal had just celebrated his wedding a day before he was martyred in the pre-dawn Israeli strike.
Separately, a woman identified as Hiba Abu Shaqfa succumbed to her injuries after being shot by an Israeli gunboat in the as-Salatin area of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, medical sources confirmed.
The Israeli occupation forces continue to systematically violate the fragile ceasefire agreement on a daily basis. According to local monitors, Israeli troops have carried out repeated attacks on unarmed civilians, detonated residential and agricultural structures, and maintained a crippling siege that severely restricts the movement of goods, humanitarian aid, and people across the Strip.
Palestinian resistance factions have condemned the ongoing aggression, calling on international mediators to pressure the occupation to uphold its ceasefire commitments. Meanwhile, families of the martyrs have begun receiving mourners in Khan Yunis and Beit Lahia, with many vowing to remain steadfast in the face of Israeli violence.
The latest attacks raise the death toll from Israeli strikes since the ceasefire took effect, with activists warning that the international community’s silence enables further bloodshed. (ILKHA)
