The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that, over 24 hours, its crews received the bodies of seven martyrs. This figure includes three newly killed individuals, three others recovered from beneath the rubble, and one person who succumbed to wounds he sustained earlier, in addition to six injuries.
According to the report, the total death toll from the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has now risen to 68,865 fatalities, in addition to 170,670 injuries. Meanwhile, the number of casualties since the ceasefire was announced on October 11 has reached 236 fatalities and 600 injuries, in addition to the recovery of 502 bodies from under the rubble.
In a related development, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that one person was killed in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, when an Israeli drone fired a missile at the vegetable market area.
Israeli forces also shelled eastern Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, with the artillery fire accompanied by intense gunfire.
Furthermore, our correspondent in Gaza reported that Israeli occupation forces carried out demolitions targeting residential areas in the southeastern part of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
'Israel' continuously breaches Gaza ceasefire
Since the ceasefire went into effect in early October 2025, Israeli violations have been ongoing nonstop.
The Gaza Government Media Office warned that these repeated breaches risked completely collapsing the truce that was intended to stabilize humanitarian conditions in the besieged territory.
On October 29, 2025, Hamas political bureau member Mohammed Nazzal accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately undermining the ceasefire, asserting that “Netanyahu is willing, with premeditation and malice aforethought, to violate the agreement and send a message that he can violate it whenever he wants.” The Resistance, Nazzal warned, “will not stand idly by if these violations continue.”
