Two Palestinians died on Tuesday of wounds from Israeli army fire in Gaza, a medical source said, as Tel Aviv continued its near-daily violations of a ceasefire agreement in effect since last October.
The source said that one Palestinian died from injuries sustained in Israeli shelling west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Monday.
Another Palestinian had died from serious injuries sustained in an Israeli strike on the Al-Amal neighbourhood of Khan Younis several days earlier, the same source said.
Meanwhile, local sources told Anadolu that Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire towards homes and tents sheltering displaced civilians in areas south of Khan Younis.
Israeli artillery also fired shells towards the Bureij refugee camp and the area around the Wadi Gaza bridge in central Gaza.
In northern Gaza, Israeli vehicles opened heavy fire towards Palestinian homes in Beit Lahia amid intense artillery shelling, eyewitnesses said.
The attacks came despite US President Donald Trump’s call for Israel to stop strikes on Gaza.
In an interview with Fox News on August 17, Trump said “Israelis should not be striking in Gaza. Hamas agreed to lay down their weapons” under his plan to end the war on the enclave.
Despite the October 10 2025 ceasefire, Israeli violations have killed 1,286 Palestinians and injured 4,257 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The Israeli army has killed more than 73,000 people and injured over 174,000 others in its genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023.
