Israeli drone strikes and air attacks in Khan Younis have resulted in the deaths of three Palestinians, marking a significant escalation in violence despite a ceasefire agreement established in October. Victims included Wissam Abdullah Salem al-Amour, Mahmoud Subhi Breika, and Atef Samir al-Bayouk, according to local health officials. This incident is part of a pattern of ceasefire violations that have persisted since the truce was reached, leading to over 440 Palestinian deaths since then, as reported by multiple sources including Channel News Asia, Al Jazeera, and Anadolu Agency.
The Israeli military justified the strikes by claiming they targeted "terrorists" posing an immediate threat. However, humanitarian concerns have been heightened, as ongoing violence has contributed to catastrophic humanitarian conditions in Gaza, decimating civilian infrastructure and resulting in high casualty rates. Reports indicate that over 71,400 people have died since the beginning of the hostilities in October 2023, leading to widespread calls for intervention and a review of the ceasefire’s effectiveness, according to Channel News Asia, Al Jazeera, and Anadolu Agency.
