At least 17 Palestinians were martyred on Sunday in a new wave of 
Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, targeting civilian areas, 
schools, homes, and refugee camps. Among the victims were eight children 
and a journalist.

According to *Al Mayadeen*’s correspondent in Gaza, six children were 
martyred when Israeli warplanes bombed al-Sardi School, located south of 
the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

In a separate attack on a building housing journalists in al-Zawaida, 
also in central Gaza, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital confirmed the deaths 
of two Palestinians, one of them a journalist.

Another citizen was martyred, and several others were wounded, when 
Israeli forces struck a home in the al-Suwwarha area, west of Nuseirat.

In western Gaza City, several Palestinians were reported martyred and 
others injured when occupation aircraft targeted a group of civilians 
near Abu Hasira Street.

The al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat announced the arrival of one martyr and 
seven wounded following an Israeli strike on an electric charging 
station west of the camp. The hospital later reported receiving two 
additional martyrs and ten injuries after a separate strike on a home in 
Block 4 of al-Bureij camp, also in central Gaza.

Meanwhile, in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, four Palestinians, including 
two children, were martyred when Israeli warplanes targeted a 
displacement tent in the al-Mawasi area west of the city.

The escalating attacks came as Israeli media reported that the political 
leadership has approved the army’s recommendation to halt the entry of 
humanitarian aid into Gaza “until further notice,” raising fears of 
worsening conditions for civilians already enduring a dire humanitarian 
crisis.


    Israeli warplanes bomb al-Maghazi and al-Tuffah

*Al Mayadeen*'s correspondent also reported renewed bombings

on the eastern areas of the al-Maghazi refugee camp, located in central 
Gaza.

In a separate strike, Israeli warplanes launched an air attack east of 
the al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, intensifying fears of 
further civilian casualties in densely inhabited areas.

Other areas across the besieged Gaza Strip were also targeted. An 
airstrike hit the eastern parts of Jabalia in northern Gaza, while a 
drone attack injured displaced civilians north of Khan Younis. 
Additionally, Israeli artillery shelled areas east of the Maghazi 
refugee camp, adding to the growing toll of destruction and displacement 
across the territory.


    Gaza officials report 47 Israeli breaches of ceasefire

On Saturday, authorities in the Gaza Strip say that Israeli forces have 
repeatedly breached the newly declared ceasefire 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/gaza-officials-report-47-israeli-breaches-of-ceasefire-since>, 
committing 47 violations since the agreement was announced earlier this 
week.

"Since the announcement of the cessation of hostilities in the Gaza 
Strip, the Israeli occupation force has committed a series of 
violations, the number of which to date has reached 47 … Due to the 
ongoing violations by the Israeli occupation, 38 people have been killed 
and 143 others have sustained injuries of varying severity," the 
authorities said in an official statement on Saturday.

The report states that Israeli attacks have persisted despite an 
internationally brokered deal aimed at halting the months-long genocide. 
The latest figures point to a growing civilian toll, with dozens of 
Palestinians killed and more than a hundred wounded since the truce took 
effect.
