Israeli fire wounds 2 Palestinians in Gaza amid ceasefire violations

Two Palestinians, including a fisherman, were wounded by Israeli fire in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, amid repeated violations of last year's ceasefire agreement, a medical source said.

The source said a fisherman sustained moderate gunshot wounds after Israeli naval forces opened fire on fishing boats operating off the coast of Khan Younis.

According to local sources, Israeli gunboats attacked fishing vessels with gunfire and shells near the city's port area, setting two boats ablaze.

The medical source said a boy was also injured by gunfire after Israeli military vehicles opened fire toward tents sheltering displaced people in the Batn al-Samin area south of Khan Younis.

Intense Israeli artillery shelling targeted areas south and east of Khan Younis, accompanied by heavy gunfire from military vehicles, according to witnesses.

In central Gaza, local sources reported a limited incursion by Israeli military vehicles southeast of the Maghazi refugee camp, amid heavy gunfire and artillery shelling.

The Israeli army also blew up evacuated homes and civilian structures near the area of the incursion.

Israeli attacks have killed 1,613 Palestinians and wounded 5,833 others since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

Since October 2023, Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and wounded over 175,000 others, most of them women and children, while destroying around 90% of the enclave's infrastructure.
