GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) — Two Palestinians died Tuesday from injuries sustained in recent Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, as Israeli forces continued strikes and heavy gunfire despite a ceasefire that has been in place since October 2025.
A medical source said one Palestinian succumbed to wounds sustained in Israeli shelling west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Monday. Another died from serious injuries suffered several days earlier in an Israeli strike on the Al-Amal area of Khan Younis.
Local sources told Anadolu that Israeli military vehicles also opened fire toward Palestinian homes and tents sheltering displaced people in southern and eastern Khan Younis.
In central Gaza, Israeli artillery struck the Bureij refugee camp and areas near the Wadi Gaza bridge, while in the north, Israeli forces opened fire toward homes in Beit Lahia amid artillery shelling, according to eyewitnesses.
The latest attacks came despite US President Donald Trump’s call for Israel to stop strikes in Gaza. In an Aug. 17 interview with Fox News, Trump said Israel “should not be striking in Gaza,” adding that Hamas had agreed to lay down its weapons under his proposed plan to end the war.
Figures from Gaza’s Health Ministry show the continuing toll since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 11, 2025. As of Aug. 23, Israeli attacks had killed 1,286 Palestinians and injured 4,257 others, while 813 bodies had been recovered.
The figures were also cited by Anadolu in reporting on continuing Israeli attacks, with Gaza’s overall death toll since October 2023 reaching 73,420 and the number of wounded 174,369 as of Aug. 23.
A separate report by Gaza’s government media office said Israeli forces had committed 4,379 violations of the ceasefire by Aug. 24, including attacks resulting in deaths and injuries, arrests and restrictions affecting humanitarian access.
The repeated attacks have left Palestinians facing continued insecurity even during a formal ceasefire, while large parts of Gaza remain devastated by the war that began in October 2023.
