In the last 24 hours, 8 Palestinians have died in Gaza. This brings the total number of deaths from Israeli attacks since October 2023 to 72,988.
The Gaza Ministry of Health announced the recent casualties, noting that despite a ceasefire being in effect since October 10, 2025, attacks continue in the area. After more than two years of conflict, tensions have escalated again.
Detentions of Fishermen

Attacks in Khan Yunis
The Israeli army announced that last Sunday it struck Hamas’s naval police headquarters in the Khan Yunis area. The statement also noted that three weapons depots allegedly prepared for attacks against Israeli forces in southern Gaza were targeted.
The army claimed the headquarters was used for "terror plans" against Israeli soldiers and Israel. The statement also alleged that some individuals, including Ismail al-Lahham from Hamas’s armed wing, were killed in the attacks.
Detention of Health Workers
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the Israeli army detained 7 health workers while passing through a military checkpoint on Salahaddin Street in central Gaza. The detainees were affiliated with the Palestinian Red Crescent.
The ministry stated that 5 of the health workers were released after questioning, while 2 remain in custody. No details were given about how the detentions occurred.
Impact on Health Services
Palestinian officials condemned the targeting of health teams and obstruction of their duties as violations of international humanitarian law. They emphasized that these actions hinder efforts to provide medical and emergency aid to civilians.
The situation in Gaza shows that despite the ceasefire, clashes and detentions continue, and humanitarian pressure in the region remains intense.
