12 Palestinians killed as Israeli occupation violations of Gaza ceasefire resume

GAZA, July 22 (YPA) – Twelve Palestinians were killed and several others injured as Israeli occupation violations of the ceasefire agreement resumed in the Gaza Strip, amidst ongoing attacks across various parts of the Strip.

In Gaza City, four Palestinians were killed and others wounded in an Israeli strike targeting the entrance of the Muslim Young Women’s Association in the city center. Meanwhile, two Palestinians were killed and others injured in an airstrike on a civilian vehicle near the Najd roundabout in the destroyed city of Al-Zahra, north of Nuseirat in central Gaza.

In a separate attack early Tuesday, six members of the same family—a couple and their four children—were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a residential house in the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City. The victims were identified as Firas Ahmed Al-Masri, his wife Salsabil Mohammad Ali Al-Masri, and their children Naeem, Faryal, Salma, and Amira.

The Civil Defense reported that its crews retrieved the bodies from the Al-Masri home. Supported by Gaza Municipality teams, they managed to control a large fire that broke out at the house and prevented the flames from spreading to neighboring homes, despite difficulties in reaching the location.

Additionally, Israeli occupation forces opened fire east of Khan Younis, alongside artillery shelling in the area, while one Palestinian was injured by Israeli gunfire near the Bir 19 intersection in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis.

On Monday night, four Palestinians were killed and others wounded when an Israeli drone struck the first floor of the ‘Yemen Al-Saeed’ Hospital in the Jabalia camp, northern Gaza Strip. The deceased were identified as Jamil Hammad Abu Shaqfa, his young daughter Noor, Shirin Ismail Issa, and Noor Hamdi Matar.
