Khan Younis strike, casualties
Israeli bombardment of the western part of Khan Younes killed Palestinian officer Khaled Shalouf and injured 11 Palestinians, according to a medical source at the non-governmental Kuwait Hospital in Khan Younes. The Gaza Interior and National Security Ministry stated that Israeli aircraft targeted officers and personnel of the Internal Security Service in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younes, and the ministry later announced the martyrdom of First Lieutenant Shalouf (44) without specifying the number of injured. Medical sources also announced the martyrdom of Emad Omar Ahmed Radi (39) on Tuesday morning, after he died of wounds inflicted by an Israeli strike targeting the Yabaniy neighborhood in the northwest of Khan Younes on Monday.
Eyewitnesses said an Israeli airstrike targeted a gathering of people in front of the university college gate in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younes. The Gaza Health Ministry stated that the death toll in the territory over 24 hours reached 5 martyrs and one person who died of his wounds, bringing the total number of Israeli genocide victims to 74,615 martyrs since October 2023.
Ceasefire violations, competing counts
The Gaza Health Ministry said Israeli bombardment and other violations continued despite a ceasefire that had been in effect since October 10, 2025. Al Jazeera Net described eyewitness accounts in which Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire toward the tents of displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area of Rafah and Khan Younes, while artillery shelling hit areas east of Khan Younes. Imad Omar Ahmed Radi (39) was martyred after succumbing to injuries sustained when Israeli forces shelled the Japanese Neighborhood northwest of Khan Younis on Monday.
An Israeli drone strike west of southern Gaza's Khan Younis killed three Palestinians and wounded several others, citing Wafa and medical sources. The Gaza Interior and National Security Ministry condemned “this crime that comes as part of the ongoing Israeli crimes against the security and police system in the Gaza Strip in an effort to sow chaos within the Palestinian society.”
Education system hit, wider toll
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education, published by the Government Media Office, reported the martyrdom of 14 students (ages 6 to 16) and 8 education sector workers during October. The report said the education sector martyrs included 4 teachers in general education and 3 employees of the Islamic University killed by a bombing of the university square, and it also described injuries to several students and staff. The report added that 95% of schools in the sector were damaged by shelling during the years of genocide, and it said the ongoing closure of crossings and the siege prevented students with external scholarships from traveling.
The report said the suppression of fuel supplies caused shortages, hindering thousands of students from reaching their schools, stopping power generators, and disrupting laboratories and desalination plants in schools and universities. The Ministry of Education called for urgent international intervention to protect the education system, while it also stated that Israeli aggression since October 2023 resulted in the martyrdom of more than 20,051 male and female students and more than 532 teachers up to last July.
