GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement from early Friday morning for the 316th consecutive day, opening fire and carrying out artillery shelling across several areas of the Strip, wounding a number of Palestinians, including one critically.
Two Palestinians were wounded by IOF gunfire in the Batn al-Sameen area south of Khan Yunis, with one reported in critical condition. Another Palestinian was shot near the telecommunications company in the vicinity of Abu Hamid Square east of the city.
In northern Gaza, Israeli artillery shelled eastern Jabalia al-Balad and the Tuffah neighborhood in northern Gaza City, while Israeli military vehicles opened fire toward northwestern Beit Lahia.
Artillery shelling also struck areas east of Gaza City, marking another violation of the ceasefire agreement signed on October 10, 2025, under Arab and US mediation in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Around midnight, an Israeli special forces unit advanced into the al-Jawani area of Beit Lahia under heavy covering fire, while Israeli surveillance aircraft flew intensively overhead, according to local sources.
A Palestinian child also died Thursday evening from wounds sustained in Israeli gunfire in northern Gaza.
A local source identified the child as Ahmad Ramzi Aql, saying he succumbed to wounds sustained when IOF opened fire on a displacement camp in Beit Lahia.
IOF also committed 12 new ceasefire violations on Thursday, including artillery shelling and gunfire across northern, central and southern Gaza, continuing the daily violations since the agreement took effect.
The suffering of Palestinians in Gaza continues to deepen amid ongoing Israeli attacks and ceasefire violations. According to the figures cited, the Israeli genocidal war has killed approximately 73,417 Palestinians and wounded 174,360 since October 7, 2023.
