1. 133 Days of Violations… Two Martyrs and Injuries from Israeli Fire in Gaza

Israeli occupation forces continue their violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip for the 133rd consecutive day through shelling operations, gunfire, and expanding their fire control range, in an escalating field trajectory that undermines the essence of the agreement which came into effect on October 10, 2025.

A medical source confirmed the arrival of martyr Osama Ahmad Abdel Aziz Al-Najjar (46 years old), who was killed as a result of shelling by an Israeli drone in the Qizan Al-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Young man Majed Abu Al-Ouf was also killed after being targeted by a bomb dropped by an Israeli occupation drone in Jabalia camp in the northern Strip.

**4. Spread of Fleas Worsens the Suffering of Displaced People in Al-Mawasi and Threatens a Harsh Health Summer**

The suffering of thousands of displaced people in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip is worsening due to the widespread spread of fleas inside shelter tents in the Al-Mawasi area, amid the absence of pest control campaigns and deteriorating living conditions, increasing health risks, especially for children and the elderly.

Displaced persons say flea bites deprive them of sleep at night, while they lack pesticides and preventive means. Doha Al-Sarsawi (25), displaced from Gaza City, explained that she cannot sleep due to continuous itching, while her two-year-old child cries all night. She confirmed that individual attempts to use medications or pesticides have been ineffective given the widespread infestation in the camp.

**6. Media Forum: Expelling and Arresting Journalists in Jerusalem Is a Policy to Control the Narrative and Empty Al-Aqsa**

Mohammad Yassin, director of the Palestinian Media Forum, confirmed that the arrests and expulsions of journalists in Jerusalem, especially around Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan, constitute a systematic policy aimed at controlling the narrative and the image.

Yassin said the occupation targets journalists because they are the “witness” who documents violations and conveys the truth to the world, noting that sensitive seasons such as Ramadan increase the occupation’s fear of imagery due to its ability to mobilize public opinion if assaults or repression of worshippers are documented.

He added that what frightens the occupation is the free voice and the camera that is not subject to censorship, considering that targeting journalists in Jerusalem through arrests, summonses, expulsion orders, and withdrawal of press cards is part of a policy to empty the scene of witnesses, similar to what occurred in Gaza but through different methods.
