GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces continue their daily violations of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, where many areas in the enclave have witnessed serious escalation manifested in intense shelling from warships, the flying of warplanes, and gunfire from military vehicles targeting citizens and residential areas.
The violations have affected various areas of the Strip on Wednesday, displaying the occupation’s ongoing breach of agreements and its failure to adhere to the announced truce. Israeli vessels targeted the beach of Gaza City, while a loud explosion was heard east of Khan Yunis in the southern area of the Strip. Additionally, Israeli drones targeted a group of citizens east of Beit Hanoun, resulting in several injuries.
Violations were reported in residential areas, where gunfire was directed from Israeli vehicles towards citizens’ homes in the Tel Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah, and in other areas along the Salah al-Din axis in the southern tip of the enclave.
In a scene reflecting the ongoing military escalation, Israeli artillery targeted the Saudi neighborhood west of Rafah City on Wednesday evening with flare bombs, while Israeli reconnaissance aircraft flew intensively over the area. The occupation continues its violations and evasion of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, as its ongoing violations have resulted in the martyrdom of more than 100 individuals, in addition to obstructing the delivery of aid and shelter supplies, exacerbating the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
The Israeli occupation army has committed more than 900 violations of the ceasefire agreement since it came into effect on January 19 of this year, according to government data. The Israeli government decided, early on March 2, to prevent humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip, as the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, which lasted 42 days, came to an end, and Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu obstructed entering negotiations for the second phase, which was supposed to begin on February 3.
