Syria: Israel arrests a young man with disabilities after he was shot in the Quneitra countryside

Two Palestinians, one of whom was a Civil Defense volunteer, were killed (Wednesday) following an Israeli raid in the northern Gaza Strip, according to the Civil Defense in the Strip, coinciding with Israel’s commemoration of the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks that sparked the outbreak of war in Gaza.

Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Agence France-Presse: “Two citizens were martyred, one of whom was Civil Defense volunteer Muhammad Tammos, who died after arriving at Al-Shifa Hospital as a result of an Israeli air strike at dawn today near the destroyed Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.” He pointed out that a number of injured people were transferred following the raid.

A security source in Gaza reported that artillery shelling and gunfire from Israeli forces had been recorded since midnight on most of the eastern areas of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, as well as the Deir al-Balah, al-Bureij and al-Maghazi camps (central), and the al-Zaytoun, al-Tuffah and al-Shuja’iya neighborhoods east of Gaza City. He pointed out that the Israeli army “blown up and destroyed a number of homes in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood.”

Powerful explosions were heard on the other side of the border, inside Israel, while relatives of a number of victims of the October 7 attacks gathered at dawn at the site of the “Nova” music festival to commemorate more than 300 people killed at that site during the attacks.

Despite the passage of a year since the ceasefire agreement reached between Hamas and Israel, the Israeli army continues its air, sea and land strikes on the Gaza Strip on an almost regular basis.

Israeli forces control more than sixty percent of the Strip’s area, which amounts to 365 square kilometers, and is inhabited by more than two million Palestinians, most of whom live in tents that are unfit for living.

Israeli strikes have resulted in the deaths of more than 1,460 Palestinians since the ceasefire was declared in October 2025, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, whose data the United Nations considers reliable.

More than 74,200 Palestinians have been killed since the war began three years ago, according to Ministry of Health data.

The Hamas attack on the Hebrew state on October 7, 2023 resulted in the deaths of more than 1,200 people, according to official Israeli data.
