3 Palestinians killed and wounded by Israeli army fire in eastern Gaza

Two Palestinian brothers were killed on Friday and a third was wounded after the Israeli army opened fire on them in the Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City.

This comes as part of Israel's daily violations of the ceasefire agreement that has been in place since October 10, 2025.

Medical sources reported that the bodies of Mohammed and Eid Abu Warda, in addition to their third brother, were moderately wounded, after they were targeted by gunfire on Mansoura Street in the neighborhood.

According to local sources and eyewitnesses to Anatolia, the Israeli army fired at a car dedicated to filling water, killing the two brothers and wounding the third.

Earlier on Friday, Israeli artillery shelled areas northwest of the city of Rafah and east of the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, as well as areas east of Gaza City and the town of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.

On Tuesday, the government media office in Gaza said in a statement that Israel had committed 2,400 violations of the ceasefire agreement, including killings, arrests, sieges and starvation.

Continued violations of the agreement have resulted in the death of 765 Palestinians and the wounding of 2,140 others, according to a statement by the Ministry of Health.

The agreement was reached after two years of a genocidal war that Israel began in Gaza on October 8,  2023, and continued in various forms thereafter, leaving more than 72,000 dead and more than 172,000 Palestinians wounded, and extensive destruction affecting 90 percent of infrastructure.

Settlers attack Palestinian homes and burn two vehicles in the southern West Bank

At dawn on Friday, Israeli settlers burned two vehicles during an attack on Palestinian homes in the southern West Bank area of South Hebron.

Activists said that a group of armed settlers infiltrated from the settlement of "Otnael" to the area of "Majd al-Baa" west of the town of Yatta, south of Hebron, and attacked Palestinian homes and completely burned two vehicles.

Various areas of the West Bank are witnessing an escalation in settler attacks and incursions by the Israeli army, in conjunction with the continuation of tension since October 2023.

According to a monthly report issued by the Palestinian Authority for Resistance to the Wall and Settlements (government), settlers carried out 497 attacks against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank last March, killing 9 Palestinians.

The West Bank has been witnessing an escalation in settler and IDF attacks since October 2023, according to official Palestinian data, which led to the death of more than 1,148 Palestinians, the injury of about 11,750, and the arrest of about 22,000.
