Translated & summarized from Arab48 by baba
Gaza reported new Israeli ceasefire violations on Tuesday, resulting in casualties, including two displaced individuals injured by Israeli forces in Khan Younis. A four-year-old child died from earlier Israeli bombing in central Gaza, bringing the total child fatalities from that strike to two. These breaches persist despite a U.S.-brokered "roadmap" ceasefire agreement announced in July 2026, which Palestinian factions accepted but Israel rejected. The violations continue for the 369th day, threatening displaced populations.

Gaza experienced new Israeli violations of the ceasefire on Tuesday, resulting in casualties. Two displaced individuals were injured by Israeli forces near Hamad City and Al-Amal neighborhood in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. One person was wounded near Al-Isra Tower in Hamad City, and another near the Red Crescent headquarters in Al-Amal. These incidents coincided with intense gunfire from Israeli vehicles in areas surrounding Hamad City, amid ongoing escalation in the southern sector.
In central Gaza, a four-year-old child died from wounds sustained approximately three weeks prior during an Israeli bombing of the town of Al-Zawaida. This brings the total child fatalities from that strike to two. These breaches continue despite U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement on July 31, 2026, of a "roadmap" agreement for a phased ceasefire and end to the war. Palestinian factions reportedly accepted the proposal, while Israel rejected it.
The ongoing violations exacerbate the risks faced by displaced people, with continued targeting of residential areas, tents, shelling, demolitions, and gunfire threatening families who have fled their homes to areas lacking basic protection and safety.
Israeli forces have continued their ceasefire violations in Gaza for the 369th consecutive day since the agreement was signed on October 10, 2025, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, mediated by Arab and American parties. These violations include continued shelling, gunfire, and targeting of displaced persons' tents and shelters, leading to deaths and injuries. As the ceasefire agreement enters its second year, Israeli violations persist amid a lack of adherence to the truce terms and continued attacks across various parts of the Strip.
