The Gaza Government Media Office and Palestinian factions condemned a new Israeli attack, east of Gaza City, calling it a massacre that killed and injured dozens, including women and children, and accusing "Israel" of violating the ceasefire while urging mediators and guarantor states to take urgent action.
The Office said that the Israeli occupation has carried out a new massacre, east of Gaza City, noting that it had expanded the area classified as “yellow” despite an existing ceasefire agreement that prevents so.
It also emphasized that the continued silence of mediators and guarantors, alongside “international inaction” in the face of the occupation’s crimes, is no longer acceptable. It called on mediators and guarantors to fulfill their responsibilities and take serious action to halt these crimes and restrain the occupation’s aggression.
Resistance movements condemn Israeli massacres
In this context, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem stated that the Israeli occupation committed a “horrendous massacre” in the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring dozens, including women and children, in a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement.
This behavior, he added, reflects the occupation government’s disregard for mediators and guarantor states, which have failed to prevent it from continuing its “extermination war” against the Strip. Qassem urged the parties that signed the Sharm El-Sheikh agreement, particularly Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the United States, to take responsibility and act urgently to stop the occupation’s aggression and violations of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
The Mujahideen Movement also issued a statement condemning the “brutal massacre” carried out by the occupation, affirming that the continuation of such massacres demonstrates the occupation’s repeated violations of the ceasefire, which Palestinian Resistance factions have adhered to while the occupation has not complied since day one.
The movement called on mediators to assume their role in taking a clear stance against “Zionist violations” and aggression toward the Palestinian people and to ensure the implementation of the agreement’s provisions.
Qatar strongly condemns Israeli strikes
Meanwhile, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli occupation’s attacks in Gaza, warning that the escalation threatens the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and efforts to achieve lasting peace.
It denounced the assaults as a “dangerous escalation” that could undermine the ceasefire, urging all relevant parties to act to prevent further violations and safeguard regional stability.
The Ministry stressed the need for coordinated regional and international efforts to preserve and uphold the ceasefire in Gaza, noting that adherence to the agreement is essential for ending the war and advancing a just and sustainable peace.
33 Paletinians killed in 24 hours
In just 24 hours, Gaza hospitals received 33 fatalities, including 12 children and 8 women, along with one recovered body, and 88 injuries. Many victims remain trapped under rubble or in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense teams are still unable to reach them.
Since the ceasefire on October 11, 2025, total fatalities have reached 312, with 760 injuries and 572 bodies recovered, while the overall toll of the Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023, has risen to 69,546 deaths and 170,833 injuries.
On Wednesday, Israeli strikes targeted Gaza City and Khan Younis, killing 25 people, including an entire family erased from the civil registry, a father and his three children, and a married couple, while dozens more were injured, some critically.
