Three Palestinians were killed and several others wounded in the past 24 hours as Israeli strikes hit al-Tuffah and residential areas in Khan Yunis, amid continued ceasefire violations.
Israeli occupation forces killed at least one Palestinian and wounded several others on Sunday in renewed attacks across the Gaza Strip, as airstrikes, artillery shelling, and large-scale demolitions continued despite a ceasefire agreement, according to medical sources and local reporters.
A source at the Baptist Hospital (al-Ahli Arab Hospital) said one Palestinian was killed, and others were injured by Israeli gunfire in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City.
Separately, a source at al-Shifa Hospital reported that several Palestinians were wounded when Israeli forces struck a building in the al-Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza City.
According to Palestinian media, Israeli warplanes carried out four airstrikes on al-Tuffah since early Sunday morning.
Israeli forces also detonated a booby-trapped vehicle near al-Batsh Cemetery, east of the neighborhood, causing further damage.
In northern Gaza, Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire east of Jabaliya refugee camp, while Israeli artillery shelled multiple areas of the town, according to local reports.

Escalation in Khan Yunis
In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli forces intensified military operations in eastern Khan Yunis, particularly in the town of Bani Suheila, where residents reported sustained artillery bombardment and active troop movements.
Al-Jazeera correspondent Rami Abu Ta‘eima said Israeli forces carried out widespread demolition and blasting operations, destroying residential buildings and entire housing blocks east of Khan Yunis.
Bulldozers were seen leveling neighborhoods, while Israeli forces established new military positions and observation towers in the area.
Residents said Bani Suheila, which remains under Israeli military control, has been subjected to continuous shelling and systematic destruction of homes.
Earlier, Israeli occupation forces detonated a robotic device near al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, causing extensive damage to the facility and sparking a fire in a warehouse storing medicines and medical supplies, according to medical staff.
Footage showed thick smoke rising from the area following the explosion. Hospital officials warned that repeated targeting near medical facilities further threatens Gaza’s already crippled healthcare system.

Worsening Humanitarian Conditions
In related news, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said Gaza has become one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists and humanitarian workers, noting that the continued ban on independent international journalists entering Gaza has fueled disinformation and hindered accurate reporting on conditions on the ground.
He added that restrictions on access, combined with ongoing military operations, have severely limited the ability of humanitarian actors to operate safely and deliver essential assistance to the civilian population.
In less than 60 minutes, Israel carried out a series of airstrikes near health facilities in Lebanon, and burned Haifa Hospital in Gaza, violating ceasefire agreements, and international law with absolutely no consequences.

Hamas Praisers Belgium
In response to the continued Israeli attacks, Hamas renewed its call for a comprehensive international ban on supplying weapons to Israel, praising Belgium’s recent decision to restrict military transfers.
In a statement, the Palestinian group said the Belgian move reflects adherence to international law and humanitarian principles, which it said Israel continues to violate through its military operations in Gaza.
Hamas urged other countries to follow Belgium’s example by imposing a full arms embargo on Israel and taking concrete steps to politically and diplomatically isolate what it described as an occupying power committing ongoing violations against civilians.
The group also called for activating international accountability mechanisms to prosecute Israeli officials for crimes, including ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Belgium Bans Transit of Arms to Israel
Earlier on Saturday, Belgium announced the issuance of a royal decree banning the stopover and transit of aircraft carrying military equipment destined for Israel, citing its obligations under international law.
Belgium’s Foreign Ministry said the decision aims to prevent any contribution to the worsening situation in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank. A spokesperson said Belgium has also halted the export and transfer of weapons that could be used against Palestinians.
The move comes amid large-scale demonstrations across Belgium in solidarity with Palestinians, with some protests drawing tens of thousands of participants.
Belgian officials have previously criticized the European Union’s failure to take unified action against Israel’s war on Gaza, warning that the bloc’s credibility on human rights and international law is at stake.
