Israeli military attacks killed at least four Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Sunday in several locations across the enclave, in their latest violation of the October 2025 ceasefire.
Israeli tank shelling targeted a group of displaced people southeast of Gaza City, killing two members of the Al-Ashqar family, Mohammed Riyad and Mohammed Ziad, health officials said.
The incident took place near the Kuwait Roundabout in the Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood.
In a separate incident south of the enclave, Israeli forces opened fire at a Palestinian woman and killed her in the south of Khan Younis.
The victim was identified as 40-year-old Huda Juma Ramadan Al-Attar, who was shot in the area of the Turkish slaughterhouse south of the city, according to medics cited by the Palestinian Wafa agency.
In another attack, Israeli forces opened fire on civilians near the Al-Saqa Mosque in the Al-Maghraqa in central Gaza, killing at least one person.
The past 48 hours have witnessed an increase in deadly Israeli attacks, resulting in the killing of more than 12 Palestinians and the wounding of dozens of others.
Israeli forces have stepped up their artillery shelling of areas in the eastern and southern Gaza Strip, particularly in and around Khan Younis, as well as firing at Palestinians from military vehicles.
Since its implementation on 10 October 2025, the Israeli army has breached the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on a near-daily basis with deadly attacks, as well as home demolitions, and has also prevented the entry of humanitarian relief trucks as agreed in the ceasefire terms.
Israel’s attacks have killed at least 811 Palestinians since the ceasefire was declared, while injuring at least 2,278.
Throughout the genocidal war in Gaza, which started in October 2023, Israeli forces have killed 72,587 Palestinians, according to figures from the Palestinian health ministry. The true death toll is believed to be much higher.
