Gaza: A martyr in a strike on Khan Younis and the Israeli army expands its occupation in the center of the Strip
A Palestinian was martyred and others were injured in an Israeli drone strike in Khan Younis, as part of daily violations of the ceasefire agreement. Simultaneously, the Israeli army expanded its control east of Al-Masdar village by moving concrete blocks and demolishing homes, raising the death toll to 1,538.
A Palestinian was martyred and others were injured on Friday in an Israeli drone strike on Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, as part of daily Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement announced on October 10, 2025. Medical sources reported the death of one person and injuries to others from an Israeli strike on the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, where an Israeli drone targeted a bicycle on Al-Qubba Street in the Mawasi Khan Younis area. In the center of the Strip, the Israeli army expanded its areas of control east of Al-Masdar village, where residents were surprised on Friday morning by concrete blocks among their homes in the 'Ibn Zaidun Intersection' area east of the village, after the army advanced them during the night by about 500 meters. The eastern areas of the central governorate have been witnessing for about a week intensive movements of Israeli military vehicles along the yellow line, accompanied by bulldozing of agricultural lands and demolition of homes evacuated by Palestinians. The yellow line, set by the ceasefire understandings, rises between areas where Palestinians are allowed to be present to the west and areas occupied by the Israeli army to the east. Since the agreement came into effect, the Israeli army has expanded its areas of control inside the Gaza Strip, with the control rate rising from 53%.
