Eyewitnesses reported that the occupation aircraft carried out violent raids on areas west of Rafah city, while artillery targeted areas east of the city with shells.
In Khan Younis, Israeli warships opened fire in the open sea, causing panic among the displaced people. Israeli forces also carried out demolition operations in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, amid heavy drone activity.
In a related context, a Palestinian woman was killed on Monday evening, and others were injured after an Israeli drone targeted tents of displaced people in the northern and central Gaza Strip.
Medical sources said that a 67-year-old woman arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City as a martyr, having been wounded by a drone strike that targeted the Halawa camp in Jabalia al-Balad, north of the Gaza Strip.
Yesterday, a 23-year-old Palestinian youth died from his wounds after an Israeli drone bombed a house in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. Several Palestinians were also injured by bombs dropped by Israeli drones on tents of displaced people in the vicinity of the “Currency Market” in the center of Gaza City.
Occupation violations
The Government Media Office in Gaza said in a statement on Tuesday that since the ceasefire decision came into effect on October 10, 2025, until the evening of Monday, December 8, 2025 (for a period of 60 days), the Israeli occupation continued to commit serious and systematic violations of the agreement, “which constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law and a deliberate undermining of the essence of the ceasefire and the provisions of the humanitarian protocol attached to it.”
The statement from the office explained that during this period, “the competent government authorities monitored 738 violations of the agreement,” which included “205 direct shooting crimes against civilians, 37 crimes of military vehicles entering residential areas, 358 crimes of bombing and targeting unarmed citizens and their homes, and 138 crimes of blowing up and destroying homes, institutions, and civilian buildings.”
The statement added that these systematic violations resulted “in the martyrdom of 386 citizens, the injury of 980 others, in addition to 43 cases of illegal arrest carried out by the Israeli occupation forces.”
On the humanitarian side, the occupation continued to evade its obligations under the agreement and the humanitarian protocol, “as it did not adhere to the minimum quantities of aid agreed upon,” according to the statement.
He added that only 13,511 trucks out of the 36,000 trucks that were supposed to enter the Gaza Strip during the past 60 days, with a daily average of only 226 trucks out of the 600 trucks scheduled daily, “meaning a compliance rate of no more than 38%,” adding that this serious breach has led “to the continued shortage of food, medicine, water and fuel, and to deepening the level of the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.”
Despite the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip between Hamas and Israel, the latter continued to violate it and targeted Palestinians outside the areas to which it withdrew under the agreement, resulting in martyrs and wounded, while the agreement was supposed to end a genocide that Israel began on October 7, 2023.
This ongoing genocide in Gaza has left more than 70,000 martyrs and about 171,000 wounded, most of them children and women, in addition to widespread destruction, with UN estimates of reconstruction costs exceeding $70 billion.
