Israeli occupation forces have continued to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, claiming the lives of two Palestinians and intensifying aerial and ground attacks across several areas of the enclave.
A medical source said Palestinian Fadi Najeeb Imad Salah was shot dead by Israeli fire northwest of Rafah. His body was transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis after an Israeli drone opened fire in an area that was supposed to have been evacuated under the ceasefire agreement.

Earlier, fisherman Abdul Rahman Abdul Hadi Al-Qann, 32, was killed by a gunshot to the head fired by Israeli naval forces off the coasts of Khan Younis and Rafah. His body was also taken to Nasser Hospital.
Another Palestinian sustained critical head injuries in the same northwestern Rafah area, which is also covered by the withdrawal provisions of the agreement, underscoring what officials described as continued Israeli violations.
Israeli warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes on northern and western Rafah, while residential buildings were demolished in eastern Khan Younis. Artillery shelling also targeted areas under Israeli control in breach of the ceasefire terms.
In northern Gaza and eastern Gaza City, Israeli aircraft launched additional strikes, as military vehicles opened indiscriminate fire toward the eastern areas of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
Israeli Enemy Revokes Licenses of International Aid Groups
Separately, Zionist authorities on Sunday began revoking the operating licenses of 37 international organizations providing humanitarian aid to Gaza, citing their failure to submit staff lists and comply with new security registration procedures, according to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority.
The authority said the affected organizations had delivered less than one percent of total aid during the war and claimed the decision would not affect overall aid flows. Palestinian and international organizations, however, warned the move would further worsen living conditions in Gaza.
Earlier this week, Israel announced a ban on the work of dozens of international humanitarian organizations in Gaza, raising growing concerns over food security in the enclave.

Official notices have reportedly been sent to more than ten organizations, including Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), giving them until March 1 to cease operations.
The Israeli enemy says the decision is intended to ensure transparency and prevent the infiltration of what it describes as “terrorist” elements. Media reports, however, suggest the move is politically motivated, linked to the organizations’ criticism of Israeli policies and alleged violations in Gaza.
The decision comes as the Israeli enemy continues to restrict the entry of sufficient food, medicine, medical supplies, and shelter materials into Gaza, where around 1.5 million of the territory’s 2.4 million residents are displaced. These measures, alongside ongoing daily airstrikes, constitute further violations of the ceasefire agreement in force since October 10, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
The ceasefire had brought an end to the Israeli occupation’s war on Gaza that began on October 8, 2023, and lasted nearly two years, killing more than 71,000 people and wounding 171,000. The conflict also devastated around 90 percent of civilian infrastructure, with United Nations estimates placing reconstruction costs at over $70 billion. Since the ceasefire took effect, Israeli occupation forces have committed hundreds of violations, resulting in the deaths of 418 Palestinians and injuries to 1,171 others, according to local health authorities.
