"Israel" continued its violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, carrying out a massacre in Khan Younis that killed several people, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

In detail, our correspondent revealed that five Palestinians, including two children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Earlier, our correspondent said that Israeli warplanes targeted a displaced persons’ tent near the Kuwaiti Hospital in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, though the initial report did not confirm any injuries.

Furthermore, Al Mayadeen's correspondent said Israeli armored vehicles opened heavy fire on the al-Shujaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, accompanied by artillery shelling near Salah al-Din Street.

An Israeli quadcopter drone also dropped an explosive device at the al-Shujaiya junction, while occupation forces released illumination bombs over the area.

Israeli artillery further targeted the eastern areas of Rafah.

360 killed since ceasefire announcement

Prior to the massacre, the Gaza Health Ministry had reported that hospitals received five Palestinians killed: four new fatalities and one body recovered from under rubble, in addition to 13 wounded over 48 hours.

The latest figures bring the total number of Palestinians killed since the ceasefire was announced to 360, with 922 injured. Civil defense teams have also recovered 617 bodies during the same period.

In its daily report on December 3, 2025, the Ministry announced that the overall death toll from the Israeli war on Gaza, which began on 7 October 2023, has risen to 70,117, in addition to 170,999 injuries.

MSF warns Palestinian children could die if not evacuated from Gaza

As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza keeps spiralling down, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) appealed on Wednesday for countries to open their borders to thousands of Palestinians in Gaza who require urgent medical evacuation, warning that many could die while waiting for treatment.

Hani Islim, MSF’s medical evacuation coordinator, told AFP that the number of patients accepted abroad so far “is just a drop in the ocean,” stressing that the real number of people in need is three to four times higher.

Islim said that the children he accompanied to Switzerland last week were between two months and 16 years old, suffering from conditions including congenital heart defects, cancer, and severe orthopedic injuries. Many underwent surgery immediately upon arrival to prevent permanent or life-threatening complications.

He warned that evacuation procedures have slowed at a time when medical conditions inside Gaza are rapidly worsening. One major obstacle, he said, is the lengthy and complex administrative process in receiving countries, where decisions on admissions and funding take significant time, delays that critically ill patients cannot endure.

Islim added that nearly all countries prioritize receiving children while neglecting adults, even though adults represent about three-quarters of those awaiting evacuation and many require life-saving care.

He urged governments to respond based on medical needs rather than treating patient lists like a “shopping list", stressing that prompt action is essential to prevent further loss of life.
