At least two people have been critically wounded due to an Israeli drone attack in the town of Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Younis, southern Gaza, the Nasser Medical Complex told our colleagues.

Israeli attacks kill 2 in Gaza despite ceasefire

Two people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Palestinians despite the ongoing ceasefire, the Nasser Medical Complex told our colleagues on the ground.

One person was killed after a bomb was dropped by an Israeli drone this morning in the Bani Suheila area of ​​Khan Younis. The other died due to his wounds after being shot two days earlier near Gaza City’s College of Science and Technology.

As we reported earlier, two people were wounded, one of them seriously, as a result of the drone fire in the Bani Suheila area this morning.

Another Palestinian killed by Israeli fire in Gaza

A source in Gaza’s ambulance service tells our team that a person was killed by Israeli army fire in the eastern Bureij refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

This comes after sources at Nasser Hospital told us that two Palestinians had been killed by Israeli attacks, one in a drone attack today, and another from wounds sustained days ago at the hands of Israeli forces.


Red Cross hands over more bodies of Palestinians taken from Gaza

Our correspondent on the ground reports that the remains of about 30 Palestinians who were held in Israeli custody were transported to Gaza by the International Committee of the Red Cross.

This is just the latest batch of bodies released by Israel since the start of the ceasefire. As we reported days ago, Gaza’s Health Ministry said some bodies showed clear signs of torture and even possible execution.

Gaza Health Ministry provides update on death toll from Israeli attacks

The bodies of 29 people killed in Israeli attacks have arrived at the enclave’s hospitals in the last 24 hours, the ministry says.

This includes 22 recovered bodies, three who succumbed to their wounds, and four people killed in new Israeli attacks in the past day. This brings the total number of people killed by Israel since October 7, 2023 to 67,967, and the total wounded to 170,179, the ministry said.

Israel has killed at least 23 people since the start of the ceasefire just days ago, the ministry added.

Rope marks, feet bound: Calls for probe into Palestinian detainee abuse

Gaza’s Government Media Office has confirmed that the bodies of 120 Palestinians held in Israeli detention have been returned to the enclave so far as part of the ceasefire agreement.

The bodies – dozens of which have yet to be formally identified – showed “conclusive evidence of field executions and brutal torture”, the office said.

It said the bodies showed signs of:

  • Hanging and rope marks on the necks of several bodies
  • Direct gunfire at close range, “confirming deliberate field executions”
  • Hands and feet being bound with plastic restraints
  • Eyes being blindfolded
  • Being crushed under Israeli tank tracks
  • Fractures, burns and deep wounds, indicating “severe physical torture”

“We call for the urgent establishment of an independent international commission of inquiry to investigate these heinous crimes and to hold Israeli leaders accountable for the war crimes committed against our people in the Gaza Strip,” the Government Media Office said.
