A Palestinian man was killed and another wounded Saturday when Israeli occupation forces struck a house in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, as the occupation military continued to violate the ceasefire across the Strip.

Local sources identified the victim as Sharif Hussein al-Hasanat, 44, killed in an Israeli airstrike on the courtyard of a house near the mental health facility behind the al-Salah Association, west of Deir al-Balah. Israeli forces also carried out several demolition operations east of Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis as part of the continued destruction of homes inside the so-called "Yellow Line."

A child was wounded by Israeli gunfire in Hamad City, north of Khan Younis, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported, while a woman was shot and wounded by occupation forces near al-Da'wa Street, northeast of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.

Israeli artillery shelled areas northeast of the al-Bureij camp in central Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent said, amid continued gunfire and shelling across scattered parts of the Strip.

Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, saw intense gunfire from Israeli military vehicles in its southern districts, while artillery shelling hit areas southwest of the city. Israeli forces also fired flares over the town of Qarara, north of Khan Younis, and over the city's southern areas.

Gaza's toll climbs to 73,419 since October 2023

Gaza's Health Ministry said Saturday that two additional bodies and four wounded had arrived at Strip hospitals over the preceding 48 hours. The ministry said a number of victims remained under rubble and in the streets, with ambulance and civil defense crews still unable to reach them.

Ministry figures released Saturday put the toll since the October 11 ceasefire at 1,285 killed, 4,252 wounded, and 813 bodies recovered from beneath rubble, bringing Gaza's cumulative death toll since October 7, 2023 to 73,419, with 174,364 wounded.

The casualties come amid a near-daily pattern of ceasefire violations, with the Israeli military continuing to shell parts of the Strip with artillery, carry out airstrikes with warplanes and drones, and demolish residential neighborhoods, killing and wounding Palestinians in the process.
