Israeli forces kill three Palestinians, including teen, in raids across Gaza Strip

Israeli forces killed three Palestinians, among them a 16-year-old, in different raids across the Gaza Strip, marking another breach of the ceasefire agreement with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

Medical sources said on Sunday that Israeli occupation forces shot and killed the 16-year-old, identified as Mohammed al-Sarhi, near Salah al-Din Mosque in the Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

The shooting took place amid Israeli fire in the area, which residents described as part of near-daily incidents in zones under Israeli military control since the ceasefire began in October 2025.

Palestinian sources had earlier confirmed the killing of a teenager in the same neighborhood, later identifying the victim as al-Sarhi.

The incident fits a broader pattern of shootings in areas where civilians attempt to move, inspect their homes, or retrieve belongings in neighborhoods close to Israeli positions.

In the northern town of Beit Lahia, Salem Rouhi al-Sous, 33, was killed by an explosive device linked to Israeli occupation forces. An 18-year-old, identified as Nabil Hassan al-Sous, was injured in the same blast.

In a separate incident in central Gaza, Naseem Abu al-Ajeen, 20, was shot dead east of Deir al-Balah after Israeli gunfire swept the area.

The killings occurred in different locations within hours, highlighting the widespread use of lethal force across the Strip despite the ceasefire remaining formally in place.

Israeli warplanes and artillery also targeted several areas in southern Gaza. Airstrikes struck Rafah, while another attack hit eastern Khan Yunis, including a water reservoir.

The strike compounded an already dire water crisis across the Gaza Strip, where damaged networks rely on minimal pumping capacity and emergency repairs.

Earlier in the day, additional shelling and air attacks hit multiple areas, particularly zones under Israeli military presence.

Images from northern Gaza showed extensive devastation in the Jabaliya refugee camp following repeated bombardment in recent days.

Israel killed 37 Palestinian children in this year’s attacks on Gaza: UNICEF

UNICEF says at least 37 Palestinian children have been killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since the start of 2026.

The escalation unfolded as Gaza’s medical system faces a deepening collapse. Hospitals continue to operate with extreme shortages of medicine, equipment, and specialized staff.

Thousands of patients suffer from life-threatening conditions as treatment is unavailable inside Gaza and remains out of reach abroad.

Gaza health authorities report that more than 1,200 patients have died while waiting for Israeli permits to seek treatment outside the territory, with movement restrictions blocking evacuation even in critical cases.

Fuel shortages, dwindling supplies, and exhausted personnel have forced hospitals to ration services while coping with casualties from repeated military assaults.

Since the ceasefire took effect in October last year, Palestinian authorities have documented hundreds of violations involving shootings, bombardment, and attacks on civilian infrastructure.

These violations have killed at least 580 Palestinians and wounded more than 1,500 others, while bodies continue to be recovered from areas previously unreachable.

Since its genocidal assault on Gaza on October 7, 2023, the occupying entity has killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and wounded over 171,000, the majority women and children.
