At least three Palestinians have been killed and 15 others wounded in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as Israel continues to violate an October ceasefire agreement.
One of the dead on Monday was killed in an Israeli drone attack on a motorcycle in southern Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood. Nine civilians were also injured in the attack, in which two missiles were fired. The Anadolu news agency named the killed man as 28-year-old Osama Naim Shamlakh.
A separate Israeli attack in northwest Gaza City hit a police post near the at-Twam roundabout, wounding four officers, some of them seriously. Anadolu later reported that one of those wounded, 36-year-old Thaer Ramzi Fayyad, later died from the injuries. The details of the third person killed are as yet unclear.
Israel conducted several other attacks in Gaza on Monday, as it showed no sign of letting up its strikes on the devastated Palestinian territory. In southern Gaza, an Israeli air raid struck a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis. The wounded were taken to Nasser Hospital.
Another attack targeted a vehicle on al-Rashid Street in the central town of az-Zawayda, with casualties transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah. A young man was also slightly wounded when an Israeli strike hit an apartment in the Maghazi refugee camp.
Israeli military vehicles also fired towards homes east of the Bureij refugee camp and near the Halawa displacement camp in eastern Jabalia, but no casualties were reported.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued to expand the territory under their control inside Gaza. Concrete blocks that indicate areas under Israeli control were moved to within about 200 metres (656 feet) of Salah al-Din Street, Gaza’s main north-south route, in the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City, raising fears that Palestinians using the road could be targeted.
The ceasefire agreed to in October has been repeatedly broken by Israel, which has conducted a genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023, killing more than 73,000 Palestinians, according to Al Jazeera.
In related developments, Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has renewed a pledge to avenge his father, the late Ali Khamenei, and over 3,000 Iranians killed in US-Israeli attacks. In a post on X, he vowed the "mission of revenge" would be fulfilled regardless of his presence, according to Yeni Safak.
In London, pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered near Tower Bridge to demand the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a senior medical figure in Gaza. Abu Safiya, who heads Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been in Israeli detention for around 18 months, according to Yeni Safak.
In Jerusalem, Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) protesters blocked roads and tried to damage the light rail construction site on Bar Ilan Street and near Zaks Junction. Police used crowd dispersal measures after protesters blocked roads and refused orders to leave, according to Yahoo News.
In Lebanon, Israel demolished and burned homes in the southern town of Hadatha, marking the latest breach of a US-sponsored framework agreement, according to Yeni Safak.
