New Israeli strikes kill more Palestinians across Gaza in 'serious violation' of ceasefire

Israeli military has launched new airstrikes and attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip as the regime presses ahead with its genocidal war despite a ceasefire agreement with the Hamas resistance movement.

Medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis reported the arrival of four bodies and several wounded individuals following an Israeli military strike on a police checkpoint at the al-Maslakh intersection in al-Mawasi.

The sources described the condition of some of the wounded as critical.

In the central Gaza Strip, two Palestinians were killed and others were injured in a similar Israeli drone strike that targeted a police post at the entrance to the Bureij refugee camp.

The regime forces also reportedly shot dead a civilian in Beit Lahia.

The attacks were condemned by Hamas as undermining mediator efforts during a ceasefire phase that Israel has violated almost daily since October 10.

Hazem Qassem, a Hamas spokesperson, in a statement said that Israel was continuing its “war of extermination” against the Palestinian people.

"The criminal Zionist occupation's escalation of killings and targeting in the Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the targeting of some police points last night, Friday, is a serious and flagrant violation under false pretexts," the statement read. 

He added that the relentless Israeli strikes indicate that “the talk of the guarantor states about stopping the war lacks any real substance on the ground.”

The rising number of deaths as a result of the ongoing Israeli bombardment across the blockaded Palestinian region reflects “the Zionist occupation’s blatant disregard for the efforts of mediators, and its complete disregard for the Peace Council and its role,” Qassem noted.

Israeli keeps killing more Palestinian civilians in Gaza amid relentless ceasefire violations

At least two more Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire across the Gaza Strip.

Israel has violated the US-brokered ceasefire that began last October more than 1,600 times, killing over 600 Palestinians.

The death toll in the besieged territory has surpassed 72,000 since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal war more than two years ago.

The Gaza Crossings and Borders Authority reported 286 trucks entered Gaza on Thursday, including 174 commercial trucks and 112 carrying aid. That’s far below the 600 aid trucks required daily to meet the needs of a population still suffering hunger and a painful Ramadan, due to Israel’s blockade.

Aid groups challenge Israeli ban that could starve Gaza, West Bank

The NGOs say Israel, as an occupying power “must facilitate relief for civilians under its control” under the Geneva Convention.

Meanwhile, Israel has asked dozens of aid groups to halt life-saving operations in the besieged strip.

Israel has ordered 37 aid groups to halt operations in the occupied territory unless they hand over personal details about Palestinian staff by this Sunday, March 1 – a move described as having potentially devastating consequences for Palestinians.

Earlier in 2025, the Israeli regime barred the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) from operating in the occupied territories. UNRWA is no longer able to coordinate with Israeli authorities even in the occupied West Bank.

In October last year, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel had an obligation under human rights law to allow essential aid provided by the United Nations and its entities to reach the Gaza Strip.
