The Israeli occupation army has continued to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, launching new bombardments and artillery shelling on multiple areas across the enclave on Sunday.Palestinian sources reported ongoing artillery shelling targeting the eastern areas of Rafah and Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, accompanied by intense gunfire from armored vehicles and tanks positioned along the eastern border, striking Palestinian homes and agricultural lands.In the north, Israeli occupation vehicles stationed east of Tuffah, Shujaiyya, and the Jabalia refugee camp opened heavy fire, while artillery units bombarded the eastern parts of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.Field sources also confirmed that Israeli forces continue to carry out large-scale demolitions in eastern Gaza, causing loud explosions as they destroy residential neighborhoods and homes located within the so-called “yellow line” along the separation barrier between Gaza and the Israeli-occupied territories.The violations also include the continued targeting and killing of civilians, renewed shelling across several areas of Gaza, and the ongoing closure of the Rafah border crossing, which prevents the evacuation of the wounded and sick for treatment and hinders the entry of humanitarian aid in the agreed-upon quantities and mechanisms.The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel came into effect on October 10, as part of the first phase of US President Donald Trump’s initiative aimed at ending the war on Gaza.

Russia's Defense Ministry said Sunday that its forces had killed 1,165 Ukrainian soldiers and shot down 116 drones. In a statement, the ministry reported strikes on Ukrainian positions across 147 locations along the front lines, claiming damage to armored vehicles, artillery systems, ammunition depots, and electronic warfare stations.It also said Russian forces targeted energy infrastructure and railway cars used to transport Ukrainian troops to the Donbas region, as well as facilities involved in the production and launch of long-range drones and storage sites for unmanned boats.Since the start of the war on Feb. 24, 2022, both Russia and Ukraine have issued near-daily battlefield updates, often asserting gains or repelling attacks. These claims are difficult to independently verify due to the ongoing conflict.

Russia's Defense Ministry said Sunday that its forces had taken control of two additional towns in eastern Ukraine, continuing a recent push in the region.In a statement, the ministry said Russian troops had seized the towns of Chonishchyne in Donetsk and Poltavka in Zaporizhzhia.It added that Ukrainian forces suffered losses of more than 485 personnel, along with a tank, an armored fighting vehicle, six cars, and an artillery piece during operations in those areas.Russia has reported steady advances in eastern Ukraine in recent weeks, controlling over several towns it described as "strategic." Ukrainian officials have not denied the territorial losses but continue to call for increased Western support to halt Russia's progress.

The Israeli occupation forces continued their heavy artillery and airstrikes since last night and until Tuesday morning, killing and wounding several people. The Palestinian news agency (WAFA), citing medical sources, reported that three citizens were martyred and others wounded in the Israeli shelling of the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City. The same sources added that a number of citizens were wounded in the Israeli artillery shelling of a residential apartment on Al-Shuhada Street in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in central Gaza City. The Israeli occupation forces' air and artillery shelling continues in the southern and northwestern areas of Gaza City, and violent explosions are being heard in the Al-Karama and Al-Mukhabarat Towers areas, northwest of the city. Israeli warplanes are also flying at low altitudes in the Gaza Strip, and helicopters are firing at the center of Khan Yunis, south of the city. The war of genocide on the Gaza Strip is entering its second year. To date, this has resulted in the martyrdom of 67,160 civilians, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 169,679 others. This is a preliminary toll, with a number of victims still buried under the rubble and in the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.

Four Palestinian citizens were martyred on Thursday in the Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip as the Israeli occupation forces escalated the aggression on Gaza City, intensifying the aerial and artillery bombardment and detonating booby-trapped robots to destroy homes and force citizens to leave the city. The Palestinian news agency (WAFA) said that four citizens were martyred, and ten others were injured when Israeli aircraft bombed a house in the Block 7 area of ​​Al-Bureij refugee camp, central Gaza Strip. The occupation forces carried out operations to destroy infrastructure and demolish residential buildings south and north of Gaza City, forcing citizens to flee to the southern part of the Strip, WAFA said. This escalation in Gaza City and its neighborhoods comes amid the continued disruption of internet and landline services in Gaza and North Gaza governorates due to the ongoing aggression and the targeting of key network routes, according to the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority. The ongoing aggression on Gaza City has resulted in the forced displacement of more than 40,000 people over the past two days, according to the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric. Medical sources announced last night that 99 citizens were martyred in massacres committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, including 77 martyrs in the northern Gaza Strip. Since Oct. 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation has committed genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip, killing 65,062 and injuring 165,697 wounded, most of them children and women. A famine has also claimed the lives of 432 Palestinians, including 146 children.
