News Center — Israeli forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement signed between the Israeli authorities and Hamas, claiming the lives of civilians on a daily basis in breach of international laws.

In shelling that targeted displaced persons’ tents, a house, and a gathering of civilians in the Gaza Strip at dawn on Wednesday, February 4, ten Palestinians were killed, including four children, and others were injured. This coincided with the demolition of buildings and facilities within areas under Israeli control east of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City, according to media reports.

The death toll from the war on the Gaza Strip has risen to 71,803 killed and 171,570 injured since October 7, 2023. Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect, Israeli forces have killed 526 Palestinians and injured 1,447 others as part of their daily violations of the agreement.

At the same time, the second group of Palestinians returning to the Gaza Strip arrived on the Egyptian side of the Rafah Crossing, awaiting permission to enter the Strip through the border crossing between Egypt and Gaza, which is operating in a limited capacity.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that 16 patients, accompanied by 40 companions, headed to the Rafah Crossing to receive medical treatment outside the Strip. However, it remains unclear whether they reached the Egyptian side of the crossing, due to difficulties in accessing information regarding operations on the Palestinian side, which has been fully controlled by Israel since May 2024.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that Israel refused the departure of 29 patients and 50 companions from the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing, out of a total of 45 patients and 90 companions who were scheduled to travel to complete their treatment abroad. The association had previously been informed by “relevant authorities” that arrangements had been made for their travel
