On Sunday, January 4, 2026, at least three Palestinians were killed in Khan Younis following Israeli military operations. According to Al Jazeera, the casualties included a 15-year-old boy and a local fisherman. Meanwhile, in central Gaza, artillery fire injured several civilians near the Bureij refugee camp, while home demolitions continued in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City.

Since the war began in October 2023, a total of 71,386 Palestinians have been killed. Disturbingly, 420 of those deaths occurred after the ceasefire was signed less than three months ago, highlighting a persistent pattern of violence despite official agreements.
