At least two Palestinians were martyred and many others injured on Sunday in Israeli artillery shelling and airstrikes in the Gaza Strip amid Tel Aviv’s ongoing violations of a ceasefire in place since October 2025.
The shelling, early on Sunday, targeted a gathering of civilians on Kashko Street in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.
Medical sources said that bodies of two Palestinian martyrs arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital after the Israeli attack.

In a related incident, Israeli gunboats shelled the Gaza City coastline with bullets and gunfire, while artillery shelling and gunfire from an Israeli helicopter targeted the eastern areas of the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
In the southern part of the strip, a medical source reported that a Palestinian man sustained moderate injuries when Israeli forces opened fire near the Hamad residential complex, north of Khan Younis.
Eyewitnesses also reported that Israeli artillery shelling targeted the Sheikh Nasser area and the vicinity of the Bani Suheila roundabout, east of Khan Younis, but no casualties were reported.
Palestinians describe the ceasefire agreement as an “illusion” given the continuation of Israeli military operations, including shelling, incursions, and the ongoing closure of crossings, except for the entry of limited amounts of aid, which has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
According to the latest figures from the Gaza Health Ministry, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement have killed 1,127 Palestinians and wounded 3,643 as of Thursday.
More than 73,000 people have been martyred and over 173,000 others wounded in Israeli genocidal war launched since October 7, 2023.
