• Israeli forces killed at least three Palestinians, including minors, in southern Gaza.
• Attacks involved airstrikes and ground fire, violating the ceasefire agreement.
• Since the ceasefire began, over 420 Palestinians have reportedly been killed.

The Israeli army has killed at least three Palestinians on a single Sunday in various incidents across southern Gaza, specifically in Khan Younis, raising grave concerns about ceasefire violations. Among the deceased were a 15-year-old boy and a fisherman shot near the coastline, according to medical sources. This occurred despite the ceasefire agreement put in place on October 10, 2023, which aimed to halt hostilities in the region. Since the ceasefire, Israeli actions have resulted in 420 Palestinian fatalities, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, with the overall casualty figures from the ongoing conflict exceeding 71,000, including many women and children, according to AA, Reuters, and Al Jazeera.

Israeli military operations have not only involved fatal shootings but also extensive airstrikes across northern and southern Gaza, resulting in numerous injuries. The Israeli forces executed demolitions of residential buildings and fired artillery indiscriminately during these operations. Furthermore, several Palestinians were reported injured from gunfire, particularly in the eastern Bureij refugee camp area, indicating a systematic breach of the ceasefire agreement aimed at protecting civilians. Reports state that the Israeli military asserts these actions are directed at militant infrastructure, although this narrative has faced significant scrutiny, according to AA and Reuters.

The ongoing violence has triggered widespread international condemnation, as humanitarian organizations report severe shortages of aid due to Israeli restrictions on entering Gaza. Civilian infrastructure has been heavily targeted, heightening the call for international accountability regarding potential war crimes. Despite claims from the Israeli military denying humanitarian aid shortages, significant amounts of aid have been reported as being blocked at the Gaza border, contradicting statements made by international bodies also reported by Al Jazeera.
