Hamas: 10 Killed in Gaza as Ceasefire Violations Persist

Gaza Herald – The Gaza Health Ministry announced that ten individuals were killed and 62 others injured in the Strip over the past 48 hours. These casualties occurred amidst ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement by Israeli forces, who continued shelling various areas and firing at civilians. The ministry stated that the toll includes eight new martyrs, one person who died from wounds, and a body recovered from under rubble.

According to Hamas, an Israeli drone struck a group of people near Palestine Stadium in the Al-Ramal district of western Gaza on Saturday. This attack resulted in the death of one Palestinian and injuries to three others. Meanwhile, two women were killed by Israeli fire in Beit Lahiya in the north and Khan Younis in the south.

In Gaza City, artillery shells hit two residential homes on Salah al-Din Street near the Shuja’iyya intersection. Tanks fired two projectiles at the houses, causing material damage. Heavy gunfire was also reported from military vehicles in the Tuffah district, alongside explosions of booby-trapped boxes. Naval vessels fired at the Gaza coastline during these incidents.

Artillery bombardments targeted northern, western, and eastern parts of Beit Lahiya. Explosions continued in areas close to residential zones. Shelling extended to eastern regions between Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah. Military vehicles fired near the Gaza River bridge. These actions threaten civilian lives and hinder returns to homes or access to lands.

The ceasefire has been in effect since October 11, 2025. However, Israel continues attacks that undermine stability. The Health Ministry reported that total deaths since the truce began reached 1,547. Injuries totaled 5,559. Authorities have recovered bodies of 842 victims. Since the war started on October 7, 2023, the death toll stands at 74,540. Injuries exceed 175,678. Rescue teams face difficulties reaching those trapped under debris.

Humanitarian conditions remain dire due to widespread destruction and displacement. Food aid cuts exacerbate the crisis. The World Food Programme reduced beneficiaries from 1.6 million to 1.1 million people. Rations were halved due to funding shortages. Residents struggle with basic needs as resources dwindle. Calls persist for civilian protection and sustainable aid delivery.
