Three Palestinians were killed and several others were injured on Tuesday in Israeli airstrikes and gunfire in Deir al-Balah and Gaza City, as Israeli forces continued attacks across the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said Israeli soldiers shot and killed Ahmad Abu Mour while he was on Salahuddin Road in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.

Medical sources at the Shifa Hospital in western Gaza City said two Palestinians were killed and others, including children, were injured when Israeli warplanes bombarded a residential apartment near the Al-Lababidi Junction in the western part of the Nasr neighborhood. The attack was among three Israeli airstrikes targeting the Nasr Street area during the early morning hours.

The Palestinian Information Center identified the two slain Palestinians as Ezzeddine al-Beik (Ashmawi), whom it described as the commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades’ Northern Gaza Brigade, and Mohannad Abu Foul.

In northern Gaza, Israeli forces fired illumination flares over the Al-Jawani area of Beit Lahia while artillery shells struck the town’s northern areas.

In Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, Israeli forces carried out a large-scale demolition operation east of the city as artillery fire targeted the same area.

In southern Gaza, Israeli military vehicles fired live rounds toward areas south of Khan Younis. No further information was available regarding casualties or damage.

The attacks came amid continued Israeli violations of the “ceasefire” agreement, including airstrikes, artillery shelling, the demolition of homes and civilian structures, and attacks on tents and shelters housing displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the families of 105 slain Palestinians in eastern Gaza City are preparing to hold funeral and burial ceremonies after the remains of their loved ones were recovered from beneath the rubble of the Burj Al-Taj complex on Yarmouk Street.

Their ordeal reflects the suffering of thousands of families still waiting for the bodies of relatives to be retrieved from destroyed homes and buildings across Gaza.

The General Directorate of Civil Defense, in coordination with the Egyptian Committee and the Association of the Families of the Slain in eastern Gaza, announced a farewell gathering for the victims’ remains on Wednesday evening, September 30, at the Burj Al-Taj complex. The ceremony will begin after the evening prayer and continue until 9 p.m., allowing families to deliver remarks and bid farewell to their loved ones.

The funeral procession will begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday, October 1, at the Burj Al-Taj complex and proceed to Sheikh Radwan Cemetery, where the remains will be buried. The ceremony will also include a press conference with representatives of the Civil Defense, the Egyptian Committee, and the families’ association.

In central Gaza on Monday evening, families began preparing burial shrouds for Palestinians whose remains were recovered from beneath the rubble of Engineers Tower, east of the Nuseirat refugee camp. Relatives gathered outside Al-Awda Hospital to see their loved ones for the last time and light candles in their memory.

The remains were recovered after sustained efforts by Civil Defense crews searching through the rubble. Many Palestinians remain missing beneath destroyed buildings, while families continue waiting to bury their loved ones after prolonged uncertainty.

Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal previously said that more than 8,000 bodies remain beneath destroyed buildings across the Gaza Strip, where recovery operations are severely hampered by shortages of equipment, heavy machinery, and fuel.

Basal said Engineers Tower, near Street 20 north of the Nuseirat refugee camp, was sheltering more than 350 residents and displaced Palestinians when it was bombarded. He added that Civil Defense crews have recovered approximately 160 bodies from the site since the genocide began, despite their limited resources.

During September, recovery teams retrieved the remains of 13 Palestinians from beneath destroyed homes, including five in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Searches for other missing Palestinians continue at several locations across the Gaza Strip.

Earlier this month, residents of the Zeitoun neighborhood in eastern Gaza City held funeral ceremonies for the remains of more than 100 Palestinians who had been trapped beneath the rubble for nearly three years, underscoring the scale of destruction inflicted on residential areas during the genocide.

Severe shortages of vehicles, equipment, and fuel have compounded the difficulties facing Civil Defense crews as they try to reach victims trapped beneath the rubble. Prolonged recovery delays have caused many bodies to decompose, leaving crews to retrieve human remains from destroyed buildings.

Thousands of families across Gaza continue waiting for missing relatives to be found and recovered from beneath the rubble, allowing them to hold farewell ceremonies and provide their loved ones with dignified burials.

The latest available figures indicate that 74,022 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, while 175,980 others have been injured. The Health Ministry in Gaza has not yet released its daily update for Tuesday at the time of this reporting.
