It’s day 198 of the supposed ceasefire in Gaza, yet Israel continues to violate it on a wide scale. The Israeli army continues to blow up homes and residential buildings all over the Gaza Strip and kill its people.
The recent death is of Naya Al Tanani, a child from north Gaza. She finally succumbed to her injuries after shelling by the Israeli army of the place she lived.
Her tragedy reflects what continues to happen to the Palestinians of Gaza. On Friday, 13 people were killed, including a woman and three children in addition to a number of injuries some of whom are critical.
Today, Saturday, the Israeli war machine continued bombing eastern areas of the Al Maghazi Camp in the central Gaza Strip. Media reports shows Israeli gunboats were firing on the beaches of Gaza City at the same time.
This is in addition to the fact that Israeli drones dominated the skies of Khan Younis that was also being bombed from the ground through Israeli tanks that today continue to surround the city.
Despite the violent tensions however, there was a “happy occasion” in the central city of Dier Al Balah, Friday night, when 300 brides and grooms tied the knot in a spectacular “group wedding,” the second of its kind to be held recently.
“Only the Palestinians can do this, amidst war, destruction and Israeli tanks,” one observer said definitely.
Tens of Gaza Police, in full spick and span uniforms, were there to make sure the wedding event was properly organized and went smoothly.
The Palestinian police are continually being targeted on the Gaza Strip. On Friday, a police car was hit in Khan Younis by an Israeli drone and five officers killed. Similarly, a police patrol was targeted in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City where two officers were martyred.
The Gaza Police Directorate has called on the International Committee of the Red Cross to pressure the Israeli occupation to stop targeting the civilian police. Since 10 October, 2025 when the ceasefire took effect, 27 policemen were killed and tens of injured.
