Ceasefire, then strikes
Israeli attacks continued across the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire, and Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that hospitals received the bodies of eight Palestinians during the preceding 24 hours—seven newly killed in Israeli attacks and one who succumbed to earlier wounds—and received 31 wounded Palestinians. On Wednesday evening, an Israeli military drone fired a missile at a tent housing displaced Palestinians in Asda’ City, in northern Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, killing Mohammad Mahmoud Murshed Al-Qadi, 39, and injuring four others, and medical sources said Al-Qadi succumbed to his wounds at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. The IMEMC News update said Israeli forces also carried out artillery shelling and opened fire in several areas of the Gaza Strip amid continuing ceasefire violations, and it described the latest violations as including artillery shelling, live ammunition, naval fire, helicopter attacks, and the destruction of civilian property.
In a separate IMEMC News report on Saturday, a medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital said a child sustained moderate injuries after Israeli forces opened fire toward tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Sudaniya area, northwest of Gaza City, and it added that quadcopter drones dropped explosive devices on homes near Mushtaha Street and the Shuja’iyya market, east of Gaza City. The same IMEMC News reporting tied the ongoing violence to the ceasefire timeline, saying that since the ceasefire took effect on October 11, 2025, Israeli attacks have killed 1,334 Palestinians and injured 4,429 others, while rescue teams have recovered the bodies of 815 slain Palestinians.
Hospitals, rubble, and claims
Gaza Civil Defense expanded recovery operations after Israeli bombing, and IMEMC News said Gaza Civil Defense crews were searching the ruins of the six-story Engineers Tower in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza to recover the bodies of dozens of Palestinians trapped beneath the rubble. A Civil Defense spokesperson said the Engineers Tower contained 24 apartments and was sheltering more than 300 Palestinians when Israeli forces bombed it, and the report said crews recovered approximately 150 bodies in November 2023 and were now working to retrieve dozens more from beneath the rubble. In the same IMEMC News report, Gaza’s Health Ministry figures were used to frame the broader toll, with the update stating that since Israel began its genocide in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, Israeli forces have killed at least 73,476 Palestinians and injured more than 174,540 others.
Al Jazeera Net reported that Israeli occupation forces opened fire toward tents of the displaced in the town of Jabalia and its camp, and it said a Drone of Israel targeted a gathering of civilians in its camp of the same name. Al Jazeera Net also described a separate fatality in Deir al-Balah, saying that the citizen Amina Al-Hessi (51 years old) was martyred while she was fatally wounded by the fire of the occupation forces the day before yesterday (Tuesday).
Detention, displacement, and politics
The IMEMC News update also focused on Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, saying Israeli prison guards continue to beat him, deliberately deprive him of sleep, and threaten him to prevent him from telling his lawyer about his detention conditions.
According to testimony conveyed during an August 30 legal visit, Physicians for Human Rights Israel said Abu Safiya reported that guards punched and kicked him and struck him with batons across his body, including his groin, and it added that prison authorities continued to delay permission for an independent physician to examine him despite reported health problems.
The same IMEMC News reporting said Israeli forces abducted Abu Safiya on December 27, 2024, during their raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, and it stated he remains imprisoned without charge or trial under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law.
In parallel, IMEMC News reported that Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he saw no “real solution” for Gaza without the migration of its Palestinian population, adding that Israel was prepared to remove them “by sea, by air and by every means possible.”
IMEMC News said the statements came as negotiations over Gaza’s future and implementation of the ceasefire agreement’s subsequent stages remained stalled, and it listed disputes over an Israeli withdrawal, the disarmament of Hamas, governance arrangements, and reconstruction.
