Two Palestinians were killed on the first day of Ramadan after Israeli forces opened fire in the Gaza Strip, according to local sources and hospital officials.

Israel continues to violate the ceasefire that came into effect on 10 October.

In a statement, Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, said Israeli soldiers opened fire at the Bani Suheila junction, east of the city. The hospital confirmed that one Palestinian was killed in the attack.

According to information obtained by Anadolu Agency’s correspondent from local sources, a Palestinian youth was also killed after Israeli forces opened fire in areas of Khan Younis that remain under Israeli occupation.

Witnesses said Israeli military vehicles stationed in the eastern parts of Khan Younis had been firing intensively since the morning hours.

Israeli military vehicles also opened fire near the Morag Corridor close to the city of Rafah, while artillery units shelled the eastern areas of the Bureij refugee camp.

Further fire was reported in the eastern parts of Beit Lahia, and artillery bombardment targeted the eastern side of the Zeitoun neighbourhood in south-eastern Gaza City.

According to data from Gaza’s Health Ministry, 603 people have been killed and 1,618 injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire came into force on 10 October 2025.

Since October 2023, Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have killed 72,063 people, with the number of injured reaching 171,726, the ministry said.
