Five Palestinians, including a fisherman, were killed as a result of escalating Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip

 



The Palestinian Red Crescent Society  said in a statement that its crews transported "4 martyrs and more than 10 wounded, as a result of an  attack in the Al-Nas area of ​​Khan Younis."

In an initial statement, the General Directorate of Police in Gaza announced that the bombing targeted a police station in the Al-Mawasi area of ​​Khan Yunis, and resulted in a number of martyrs and wounded.

In this context, a Palestinian fisherman was killed this morning, Sunday, by Israeli naval fire off the coast of Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip.

A medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported the arrival of the martyr, the boy Muhammad Musa Abu Jiab  as a result of gunfire from Israeli warships off the coast of Deir al-Balah.

According to local sources, the boy was a fisherman, and Israeli warships opened fire with their machine guns towards the fishermen's boats, which led to his death.

Israeli admission

In contrast, the Israeli occupation army admitted on Sunday that it had killed two Palestinians in an attack it carried out in the southern Gaza Strip, and claimed that they were Hamas officials.

The Israeli army said in a statement that it killed Saqr Abu Karim on Tuesday in the southern Gaza Strip, claiming he was "the commander of an elite Hamas cell," without providing details about the circumstances of the attack.

He also claimed that Abu Karim was one of the leaders of the attack on the Kissufim settlement during the October 7, 2023 attack.

In the same context, the Israeli occupation army said that it killed another Palestinian in the same attack, claiming that he was working as a "liaison officer" in Hamas, without naming him, while no comment was issued by the movement until 8:20 (GMT).

This comes as Israel escalates its aggression against the Gaza Strip, despite Cairo negotiations to complete the first phase of the ceasefire agreement and discuss mechanisms and arrangements for entering the second phase.


On Saturday, Hamas announced the start of meetings in Cairo with mediators and Palestinian factions to discuss these issues, the day after its delegation, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, arrived in the Egyptian capital.

The first phase of the agreement included a ceasefire, an exchange of Israeli and Palestinian prisoners, the opening of the Rafah crossing, the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip, and a partial Israeli withdrawal from within the Strip.

Israel reneged on its commitments stipulated in the first phase of the agreement and continued to escalate its military operations in the sector, including bombing, shooting, incursions, and restricting access to aid, despite Palestinian demands to deter it from doing so.

The daily Israeli violations of the agreement, through bombing, shooting and incursions, have left 961 Palestinian martyrs and 3,020 wounded, in addition to controlling more than 60% of the area of ​​the Gaza Strip.

The second phase includes several key issues: the formation of a temporary technocratic committee to manage the sector, the reconstruction file, the formation  of a temporary technocratic committee to manage the sector, the reconstruction file, the formation of a peace council, the establishment of an international force, a further withdrawal of the Israeli army from the sector, in addition to the disarmament of Hamas.

While the Peace Council was established, a Palestinian technocratic committee was formed to manage the sector operating from Cairo, and the formation of the international force began, the debate continues on the most prominent issues: disarmament, withdrawal from Gaza, and reconstruction.

The agreement was reached two years after a genocidal war launched by Israel on October 8, 2023, with American support, which left more than 72,000 martyrs and more than 173,000 wounded, and caused massive destruction affecting 90% of the civilian infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at about $70 billion.
