ISRAEL continued sporadic attacks on Palestinians today, breaching the ceasefire for another day as Gaza’s Health Ministry reported more deaths in the enclave.

A Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire east of Khan Younis, while two others died in an assault on Gaza City, health workers said.

The bodies of 25 people arrived at Gaza’s hospitals in the past 24 hours, along with 35 wounded, the ministry said.

United Nations undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs Tom Fletcher urged all parties to fully implement the ceasefire agreement, saying: “Palestinians, Israelis and people across the region want this peace to take hold.”

He said that humanitarian operations had finally begun after “months of frustration and blockages,” allowing food, medicine, fuel, water, cooking gas and tents to reach those in need.

But he noted that Israel had informed the UN it would allow only 300 aid trucks — half the number agreed — to enter Gaza daily as of today.

Mr Fletcher called on Israel to permit the “massive surge” of aid it had promised, amounting to thousands of trucks a week.

“We need more crossings open and a genuine, practical, problem-solving approach to removing remaining obstacles,” he said.

Nine in 10 homes in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed after two years of bombardment, the UN said.

In Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan district, Unicef’s Tess Ingram described “a skeleton of a city,” where families are building makeshift shelters on the ruins of their former houses as they wait for tents, building materials and restored water supplies.

“This is why the humanitarian response is so important,” Ms Ingram said.

“More than anything else, [Gaza’s children] need this ceasefire to hold.”

Moemen Hassanein in Gaza City told Reuters: “Our situation is utterly tragic.

“We went back to our homes in al-Tuffah neighbourhood and found there are no homes at all. There is no shelter. Nothing.”

Meanwhile, Hamas handed over the bodies of four more Israelis to the Red Cross, bringing the total to eight.

Families identified three of them, while the Israeli army said the fourth does not match any recorded captive.

Israel also returned 45 more Palestinian bodies, bringing the total number returned to 90.

Medical sources told Al Jazeera that some of the bodies were found blindfolded and handcuffed, suggesting possible “field executions.”

Israeli troops continued a mass arrest campaign across the occupied West Bank today, local news reported.

In al-Issawiya, north-east of occupied Jerusalem, soldiers arrested a child and his mother after raiding their home, the Jerusalem governorate said.

In Tubas, a young man was detained after being summoned to Salem camp near Jenin, according to Kamal Bani Odeh, director of the Prisoners’ Club in the city.

Israeli troops also stormed the eastern area of Tammun, south of Tubas, using patrols and a bulldozer to close a side road, Wafa news agency reported.

In an-Nazla ash-Sharqiya, north-west of Tulkarem, Israeli forces fired gas bombs at farmers and volunteers participating in the olive-picking season.

The Colonisation and Wall Resistance Commission said that several people suffered suffocation due to the toxic gas, and social media footage showed the attack on the harvesters.

According to official Palestinian figures, more than 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers, and about 20,000 have been arrested since the genocide in Gaza began.
