🔴 Six Palestinians Killed in Gaza on Monday, Including Three Children and a Woman, as Israel Keeps Violating Ceasefire

🔸 A father and his child: 
Hakim Muhammad al-Hubail and his child were killed in an Israeli drone strike while filling water on the roof of their home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.

🔸 A tailor’s tent: 
Saleh Khalifa was killed when an Israeli drone struck a sewing tent in front of al-Razi School in Camp 2 of the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, wounding several others.

🔸 A child shot and detained: 
Ryan Baha Abu al-Ajin arrived dead at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital alongside his wounded father, hours after Israeli forces shot and detained the two in the Wadi al-Salqa area southeast of Deir al-Balah. The troops held them before releasing them on Salah al-Din Road, and the boy was pronounced dead of his wounds.🔸 A third child: 
Riad Abdullah Qadoum has succumbed to injuries suffered in an Israeli strike on Gaza City days earlier, bringing the family’s death toll to four children and their father.

🔸 A woman killed near a mosque: 
Nadia Kamal Ayash was killed and several people wounded when an Israeli drone targeted them near the Abdul Rahman bin Auf Mosque in the town of al-Zawayda.

Israeli forces also continued blowing up homes in eastern Gaza City amid intense warplane and surveillance-drone activity, and fired heavily in Khan Younis alongside sustained artillery shelling, local reports said.

The Gaza Health Ministry said 986 Palestinians have been killed and 3,138 wounded since Israel began breaching the October 11, 2025 ceasefire. The minimum cumulative death toll since the start of the genocidal war on October 7, 2023, has surpassed 72,996 killed and 173,246 wounded.
