Israeli air strikes, shelling and home demolitions continue across Gaza Strip

Israeli forces have continued military operations across the Gaza Strip, with ongoing reported violations of the ceasefire agreement through artillery, air and naval attacks, targeting residential areas, displacement camps and shelters, alongside the demolition of homes and military movements on several fronts.

On Thursday morning, new Israeli attacks were reported in different parts of the territory. Artillery shelled areas southeast of the Maghazi refugee camp while military vehicles opened fire. Israeli forces stationed northeast of the Bureij refugee camp also continued firing towards nearby areas.

In Gaza City, military vehicles and drones opened fire near Al Hashimiya School in the eastern Tuffah neighbourhood as bulldozers advanced and expanded areas under Israeli military control. Drones also opened fire in the Sabra neighbourhood in the south of the city, while an explosion caused by the demolition of homes was heard in the northern Gaza Strip.

In southern Gaza, intermittent shelling targeted areas in Rafah and Khan Younis. Israeli artillery struck the outskirts of the Al Shakoush area northwest of Rafah, while Israeli surveillance aircraft flew over the Al Mawasi area. Israeli naval vessels also opened fire towards the coasts of Khan Younis and Rafah.

The previous day’s Israeli attacks killed and wounded Palestinians, including displaced people in different parts of the Gaza Strip, as tensions continued despite the ceasefire agreement brokered by Arab mediators and the United States.
