Nine Palestinians, including two journalists, were killed when Israeli aircraft targeted a charity vehicle at the al-Attar junction in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, as reported by Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
Despite the ceasefire, "Israel" continues its violations, with gunboats opening heavy fire in central Gaza, while an Israeli quadcopter struck the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah.

Gaza’s Civil Defense reported that for the second consecutive day, its teams retrieved the bodies of 13 martyrs, including three unidentified individuals, buried within the walls of the al-Shifa Medical Complex during the ongoing genocide.
UNICEF has issued an urgent warning that 1.8 million people in Gaza, predominantly children, are in desperate need of water, sanitation, and healthcare.
Earlier today, the Forum of Palestinian Journalists announced the death of Alaa Hashim, who succumbed to injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City during its ongoing war.
Her passing raises the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, 2023, to 206.
The NGO mourned Hashim and denounced the international community’s silence and failure to protect Palestinian journalists. It also called for ensuring journalists can carry out their work in line with international laws and humanitarian conventions.
Over 130 Palestinians killed by 'Israel' since ceasefire deal reached
The head of the Gaza Government Media Office, Salama Marouf, condemned on Tuesday the Israeli occupation's ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement, citing its refusal to withdraw from the Salah al-Din axis in southern Gaza and its continued incursions and demolitions in Rafah.
Marouf warned that these actions reflect the Israeli occupation's aggressive intentions and its commitment to further crimes against the Palestinian people.
In a press statement, Marouf stated that in the past ten days, Israeli forces have intensified their violations, carrying out increased attacks despite the ceasefire.
He pointed to the latest incident as evidence of the Israeli occupation's disregard for the agreement, reporting that five Palestinians, including two brothers, were killed near the Kuwait Roundabout in an Israeli drone strike.
Marouf dismissed the Israeli occupation's claims justifying these attacks, stating that the victims, including women and children, posed no threat to Israeli forces. Many were killed while inspecting their homes near Israeli military positions.
