Israeli ceasefire violations take place on daily basis: Palestinian official

Since a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was declared on October 10, 2025, Israel has violated the agreement with near-daily attacks, killing hundreds of more people and blocking vital aid supplies from entering the war-torn Palestinian enclave.

Four people, including three children, were injured in a new fresh Israeli airstrike on a tent sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza's Al-Mawasi area, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Palestinian medical sources said three people were killed on Tuesday evening in an Israeli airstrike on a gathering south of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Gaza-based health authorities said Wednesday that the death toll since the ceasefire went into effect in October 2025 has reached 689, with 1,860 injured, raising the total number of casualties since Oct. 7, 2023, to 72,265 deaths and 171,959 injuries.

"Since the ceasefire began, airstrikes have continued on a daily basis. Every day, we are losing more lives, with ongoing injuries. The death toll since the ceasefire has exceeded 600, and the cycle of killing and destruction in Gaza is still ongoing," said Rami Al-Aidi, director of the Palestinian Civil Defense in Central Gaza.

This situation of ongoing strikes in the region comes against the backdrop of more hardships for the Palestinians, especially at the level of the hospitals in the Gaza Strip, where many of essential medical supplies are needed but the closure of border crossings by Israeli authorities is going on.

"We are working around the clock inside the hospital, but medical equipment and supplies have become extremely scarce. Medical staff are exhausted, much of the equipment is no longer functioning, and there is a general shortage across all aspects," said Mohammed Rayan, head of the Emergency Department at the Al-Aqsa Hospital.

A 7.5-tonne unmanned cargo aircraft powered by AEP100, China's independently developed megawatt-class hydrogen-fueled turboprop engine, successfully completed its maiden flight on Saturday at an airport in Zhuzhou, central China's Hunan Province.

This marks the world's first test flight of a megawatt-class hydrogen-fueled turboprop engine.

Experts from the Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC) noted that the successful maiden flight highlights that China has now established a complete technological chain in hydrogen-fueled aviation engines, covering everything from core components to full engine integration. They added that this achievement lays the foundation for the industrial application of hydrogen energy in aviation.

As green hydrogen production costs fall, hydrogen aviation engines will show growing economic and energy security advantages, experts said. Hydrogen-fueled aero engine technology is expected to debut in low-altitude economy fields such as unmanned air freight and island logistics before gradually expanding to regional and mainline aircraft.

This technology will drive coordinated upgrades across industrial clusters, including upstream green hydrogen production, midstream storage, transportation and refueling infrastructure, and downstream high-end equipment and new materials. Ultimately, it will propel the green, low-carbon, and high-quality development of China's aviation industry, experts added.
