Since the night, IDF began a campaign of massive destruction of remaining buildings by targeting them with airstrikes.

Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 2 killed and 25 injured arriving at hospitals.

Southern Gaza:

At around 1:00 a.m. local time, an Israeli airstrike hit a building reportedly belonging to the Abu Hatab family, geolocated between Bilal Mosque and Omar Ibn al-Khattab Mosque in Khan Younis (31.345550, 34.296777). No one was injured in the attack.

Five Palestinians were injured after Israeli tanks opened fire on displaced persons’ tents in the Al-Maslakh and Al-Barraq Al-Janoubi areas, south of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. This occurred during Israeli ground movements east of Khan Younis; the wounded were transferred to Nasser Hospital, with injuries described as moderate.

Gaza City:

In Al-Zaytun neighborhood, east of Gaza City, a massive missile strike completely destroyed an entire residential building in a densely populated civilian area. Weapons analyst Trevor Ball (@Easybakeovensz) identified the weapon as an MK-84 2,000-pound bomb fitted with a JDAM kit. He noted that Bellingcat recently questioned the IDF over evacuation distances in Gaza, which are significantly shorter than those included in notices in Lebanon. In this case, residents were instructed to evacuate 100 meters, while 500 meters is typically cited in Lebanon and exceeds several safety standards for a 2,000-lb bomb, including U.S. Marine Corps “danger close” guidelines.

Anadolu Agency reported that the targeted building was completely destroyed and that adjacent homes suffered blast damage, with residents stating that surrounding buildings were not included in the evacuation order.

Northern Gaza:

In Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, an Israeli strike killed a Palestinian civilian identified as Nabil Muhammad Ahmad al-Rahal (54), according to reporting citing WAFA, despite the ceasefire being in effect.

Evacuation order (released February 6, 2026 – approx. 1:51 p.m.):

English translation of the @AvichayAdraee evacuation order:

Urgent ‼️ Immediate warning to residents of the Al-Zaytun neighborhood, specifically at the intersection of Umm al-Moun Street and Al-Muʿamadani Al-Bariyya Street, in the building marked in red and those in its vicinity.

⭕️ The Israel Defense Forces will attack the building in the near timeframe due to the presence of Hamas terrorist infrastructure inside it or nearby.

⭕️ For your safety, you are required to evacuate the building immediately and move at least 100 meters away.

IMEMC reported that the strike on the building occurred after the evacuation order was issued, and that the structure was destroyed shortly afterward.

Broader context of ceasefire violations:

Since the ceasefire on October 11, 2025: Total killed: 576; Total injured: 1,543; Bodies recovered from the rubble: 717. This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli assault on Gaza to 72,027 killed and 171,651 injured (figures based on Gaza Health Ministry data cited by WAFA and IMEMC).

Names of the martyrs:

• Mahmoud Salah Abu Rukba

• Ahmad Imran al-Qanu’
