GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Three Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday in Khan Yunis, as violations of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip continued through air, land, and sea attacks across various areas, coinciding with the first day of the holy month of Ramadan.
Nasser Medical Complex announced that one person was killed by Israeli gunfire in areas where Israeli forces are deployed east of Khan Yunis.
Earlier, the hospital reported that two Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire near military positions in the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.
A local source identified one of the victims as 20-year-old Mohannad Jamal Mohammad Al-Najjar, who was shot near the Bani Suheila roundabout east of the city.
Israeli artillery shelled eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City, alongside new demolitions of residential buildings in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.
In the south, a series of Israeli airstrikes targeted areas in Khan Yunis and Rafah, accompanied by low-flying warplanes. Artillery fire also struck eastern Khan Yunis, while Israeli tanks reportedly opened heavy fire toward eastern parts of the city.
Gaza began the holy month of Ramadan under continued daily violations since the ceasefire came into effect. Thousands of families remain in severe shortage of food and basic supplies. The United Nations previously warned that famine had spread in parts of the enclave in recent months.
According to Palestinian sources, Israeli violations since the start of the ceasefire have killed 634 Palestinians, including 195 children and 84 women, and wounded 1,630 others.
Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, Israeli forces have killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and injured nearly 172,000, with more than 8,000 reported missing. Approximately 90 percent of civilian infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, with the United Nations estimating reconstruction costs at around $70 billion.
