The Gaza Government Media Office and Palestinian factions condemned a 
new Israeli attack 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/health/on-their-day--gaza-s-little-ones-face-disease--silent-suffer>, 
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” 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hamas-condemns-deadly-israeli-attacks-in-gaza--khan-younis> 
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 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/13-killed-in-new-israeli-strikes-on-gaza--khan-younis>, 
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 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/gaza-media-office-details-israeli-violations-since-truce--39>, 
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” 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/gaza-health-crisis--100-000-wounded--hospitals-in-collapse> 
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 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/arab-conference-warns--un-gaza-resolution-purely--western-zi> 
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 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/qatar-condemns-israeli-violations-of-gaza-ceasefire-agreemen>, 
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 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/ceasefire-in-name-only--gaza-death-toll-nears-70-000> 
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.
