Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip reported that the Israeli occupation carried out artillery shelling and opened heavy fire from helicopters east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, marking a new breach of the ceasefire agreement.
Eyewitnesses confirmed the use of live ammunition and shelling in residential areas, as explosions were heard across the eastern districts of the city.
Medical sources reported that a young man was martyred after the occupation bombed his home in the Musbah neighborhood of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis.

Another young man succumbed to wounds sustained earlier in an Israeli airstrike targeting a tent sheltering displaced civilians in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis.
In a separate incident, the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City confirmed the martyrdom of a citizen and the injury of his brother by occupation bullets in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, east of the city, bringing the death toll to three.
Occupation forces demolish homes amid ceasefire breach
The Israeli occupation's military also conducted demolition operations targeting homes east of Gaza City and Khan Younis. Massive explosions were also reported as houses were destroyed. In parallel, Israeli warships opened fire off the coast of Gaza City, escalating the violations.
These repeated Israeli ceasefire violations in Gaza come amid ongoing air raids and artillery bombardments across various areas of the Gaza Strip. In addition to the military escalation, "Israel" continues to violate the humanitarian aspects of the agreement, exacerbating conditions for displaced civilians and limiting the flow of aid.
The occupation's actions have resulted in dozens of martyrs and injuries in recent days, as the ceasefire agreement continues to be systematically undermined.
Israeli forces committed a massacre two days ago that claimed the lives of more than 100 Palestinians. Medical sources in hospitals across the Gaza Strip reported early on Wednesday that dozens of children were killed. The attacks targeted the homes and tents of displaced Palestinians in multiple areas of the Strip.
