2 Palestinians killed as Israeli airstrikes intensify across Gaza
Israeli attacks follow new displacement orders, while UN warns humanitarian conditions remain critical despite ongoing ceasefire
GAZA CITY, Palestine (MNTV) — Israeli airstrikes killed at least two Palestinians and wounded several others across the Gaza Strip after the Israeli military issued new displacement orders covering multiple areas.
The humanitarian agencies warned that conditions in the territory remain dire despite a ceasefire that has been repeatedly violated.
Medical sources said the latest strikes targeted several locations across Gaza, including Gaza City, the Bureij and Jabalia refugee camps, and the Zeitoun and Tal al-Hawa neighborhoods.
A strike in Gaza City’s Zeitoun district also injured multiple people, according to officials at Al-Ahli Hospital.
Residents said the bombardment began after Israeli forces ordered civilians to evacuate four areas, prompting families to flee with little notice.
Witnesses reported that some of the areas designated for evacuation were later struck, leaving displaced civilians with few safe places to seek shelter.
Civil Defence teams continued battling a large fire triggered by one of the airstrikes in Gaza City as rescue crews searched damaged buildings.
The latest attacks come despite a US-brokered ceasefire that took effect last year. According to Gaza health authorities, at least 73,311 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s military campaign began, including more than 1,185 people killed after the ceasefire entered into force in October 2025.
Diplomatic efforts over Gaza’s future also remain stalled. During a meeting on the sidelines of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Summit in Manila, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty urged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to accelerate plans for deploying an International Stabilization Force in Gaza and to establish an administrative committee to help govern the territory and reduce tensions.
The appeal followed reports in Israeli media that Moroccan security officers had visited Gaza as part of preparations for a possible multinational deployment. Morocco has previously announced plans to contribute security personnel and establish a field hospital in the enclave.
Meanwhile, United Nations agencies warned that Gaza’s humanitarian emergency remains severe. A recent assessment found that approximately 1.4 million people—about 67 percent of the population—continue to face crisis-level or worse food insecurity, despite a slight improvement compared with the end of last year.
Ross Smith, Director of Emergency Preparedness and Response at the UN World Food Programme, said the humanitarian situation remains “critical” and stressed the need for sustained humanitarian access, continued international funding, and unrestricted delivery of aid to civilians across Gaza.
The United Kingdom also called on Israel to remove restrictions affecting humanitarian operations, warning that limitations on aid deliveries continue to worsen food insecurity, disease outbreaks, water shortages, and the collapse of essential health services.
