Medical sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital also reported the death of Nadia Kamal Ayyash, who was killed when an area adjacent to her residence in the town of Al-Zawayda, central Gaza, came under Israeli attack.
In a separate incident, child Ryan Bahaa Abu Al-Ajeen arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital dead alongside his wounded father, hours after Israeli forces reportedly opened fire on them and detained them in the Wadi Al-Salqa area southeast of Deir al-Balah.
According to medical sources, Israeli forces shot the child and his father before holding them for several hours. They were later released onto Salah al-Din Road in central Gaza and transferred to the hospital, where the child was pronounced dead from his wounds.
Israeli military vehicles also opened fire east of Khan Younis amid ongoing artillery shelling. Local reports said Israeli forces expanded the so-called “yellow zone” by moving concrete barriers farther west near Khan Younis.
Nine Palestinians were killed on Sunday in separate Israeli attacks across Gaza.
Israeli forces have continued violating the ceasefire agreement through airstrikes, artillery attacks on areas sheltering displaced people, demolitions inside the “yellow line” zone, and ongoing restrictions on the movement of goods, aid, and civilians.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the number of Palestinians killed since the ceasefire took effect on October 10 has risen to 995, with 3,144 injured and 784 bodies recovered from previously inaccessible areas.
The overall death toll in Gaza since October 7, 2023, has reached 73,006 Palestinians killed and 173,252 wounded, according to Palestinian health authorities.
