A series of new deadly Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least seven Palestinians and injured two dozen others in the past 24 hours, as ceasefire violations reached 2,400 incidents.

The casualties occurred as Israel continues to target residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure in the besieged Palestinian territory, in violation of the ceasefire.

Children were among those killed and wounded in Rafah and central Gaza.

In Rafah, one person was killed by Israeli gunfire, while a child was injured by shooting in the al-Mawasi area, where large numbers of displaced civilians are sheltering. Additional injuries were reported in central and southern Gaza.

A 16-year-old boy was seriously wounded in an Israeli drone strike in Deir al-Balah, and a girl was injured by gunfire in Mawasi, Khan Yunis. 

Medical sources said the boy was rushed to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital with severe injuries.

Israeli artillery and gunfire continued to target areas east of Khan Yunis, while naval forces shelled coastal zones.

The latest deaths come amid ongoing ceasefire violations by Israel for 191 consecutive days.

Local authorities stated that Israeli forces continue to breach the truce through airstrikes, artillery shelling, and gunfire directed at civilian areas.

The Gaza Government Media Office reported that Israeli forces have committed 2,400 violations since the ceasefire took effect in October last year. 

These include 921 shooting incidents, 1,109 bombardments, 97 incursions into residential areas, and 273 demolitions of homes and buildings.

The violations have resulted in at least 754 deaths and 2,100 injuries, including 312 children, women, and elderly pepeople.T

hese developments come as Gaza authorities report that severe restrictions on humanitarian aid and movement continue to worsen conditions across the blockaded Palestinian territory. 

Only a limited number of aid and commercial trucks have entered the Strip over the past six months, and the Rafah crossing has operated at reduced capacity.

Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged region has killed at least 72,336 Palestinians and injured 172,213 others since October 2023.
