GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Five Palestinians, including a woman, were killed and several others injured in Israeli strikes targeting areas of Gaza City, while Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued violating the ceasefire agreement through artillery shelling, gunfire, and building demolitions, alongside the expansion of the so-called “Yellow Line.”
Two Palestinians were killed and others injured when IOF troops targeted a vehicle in the town of Al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
According to the PIC correspondent, Basel Nabil Qishta and Ahmed Rajaa Al-Shaer were killed in the attack on the vehicle in Al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
The PIC correspondent also reported that Saddam Rami Al-Zaanin was killed and another Palestinian injured by IOF gunfire in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
Mohammed Fawzi Al-Jamla also died from wounds he sustained several days earlier in an Israeli strike targeting the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood in southern Gaza City.
Reem Awad was also killed and several Palestinians injured early Wednesday when Israeli warplanes targeted a residential apartment near Abu Talal Junction in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in western Gaza City.
Field sources reported that Israeli helicopters targeted a residential apartment in the Al-Abbas area of western Gaza City, opposite Nesto Supermarket, sparking a fire that Civil Defense crews later managed to bring under control. Ambulances arrived at the scene and recovered the body of a woman killed in the attack.
Shelling and gunfire across several areas
In Gaza City, Israeli tanks opened heavy fire east of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, alongside artillery shelling targeting the area, while gunfire extended to the Al-Sidra, Al-Sahaba, Al-Daraj, Al-Nafaq, and Yafa areas in the eastern part of the city.
Israeli quadcopter drones also opened heavy fire around Al-Shawa Square in eastern Gaza City, targeting the movements of residents. The drones were also seen flying overhead and firing toward residential homes in the Al-Rimal and Al-Jundi areas, the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, and the Asqoula area.
Drone gunfire was also reported in Jabalia Al-Balad, Al-Nafaq Street, and around Sheikh Radwan Pond in the northern part of the city, with bullets reaching First Street in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. Meanwhile, military vehicles continued firing in eastern Gaza City and the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, alongside intermittent gunfire from a military crane east of Gaza City.
In a related development, Israeli military vehicles rigged with explosives advanced toward the vicinity of Al-Sanafour Junction in eastern Gaza City in preparation for their detonation. A massive explosion was subsequently heard across the city, resulting from a demolition operation carried out by IOF troops.
The Al-Tuffah neighborhood witnessed Israeli tank movements along Al-Sikka Street, accompanied by heavy gunfire and an expansion of the so-called “Yellow Line” toward the area, while artillery shelling continued in eastern Gaza City until the morning hours.
Artillery shelling in central and southern Gaza
In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire northeast of Al-Bureij refugee camp, alongside artillery shelling targeting the area east of Tamraz Station.
Areas north of the camp also witnessed military vehicle movements and gunfire before vehicles were seen moving eastward and withdrawing toward the “Yellow Line.”
An Israeli quadcopter drone also targeted a kiosk near Atiyan Roundabout, northeast of Al-Bureij refugee camp, with an incendiary device, sparking a fire that neighbors managed to extinguish. No injuries were reported.
In Deir Al-Balah, Israeli helicopters flew over the city and its western and central areas and carried out an airstrike, while helicopters continued flying overhead and one fired a missile outside the central Gaza Strip.
In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli military vehicles opened fire east and south of Khan Yunis, alongside artillery shelling targeting eastern areas, while Israeli gunboats fired shells and opened fire offshore in Gaza’s waters.
These attacks come amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, with ongoing shelling and gunfire across various parts of the Gaza Strip and the expansion of military control into areas where civilians move, further increasing the risks facing residents and threatening their stability despite the agreement remaining in effect.
