Human Casualties and Reactions
In Khan Younis, located in southern Gaza, a 17-year-old teenager was killed by Israeli soldiers' gunfire. Additionally, there are reports of another individual being killed in the outskirts of the Zaitoun neighborhood of Gaza City by Israeli forces. With these incidents, the death toll on Tuesday has reached at least four.
Israeli officials have yet to respond to the two shooting incidents on this day. While Palestinians are assessing the aftermath of the airstrike on the apartment in Gaza City, the funeral for the couple has also been held.
Mahmoud Yassin, the brother of one of the victims, stated, "We are supposed to be in a ceasefire period, but in reality, we do not see the ceasefire. The war continues, ongoing assassinations are taking place, and bombings have not stopped."
Israel claims that the militant group Hamas is rearming and launching attacks in violation of the ceasefire and has increased attacks on this group in recent weeks. Hamas has been accused of attempting to carry out attacks or rebuild its weapons and Israel accuses it of undermining the peace agreement in Gaza.
The ceasefire agreement established a year ago by the United States between the parties refers to the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. However, little progress has been made in implementing this agreement and ending the conflicts, which include conditions for disarming Hamas and withdrawing Israeli forces.
According to reports from Gaza health officials, since the ceasefire was established, at least 1,500 Palestinians have lost their lives due to Israeli fire. Meanwhile, Israel has reported that four of its soldiers have been killed by militants in Gaza during this period.
