Gaza Strip: Despite the implementation of a so-called ceasefire in Gaza, Israeli military attacks show no signs of stopping. According to medical sources, recent Israeli strikes in central and southern Gaza on Thursday killed at least four Palestinians, including a young child and a woman, while injuring several others critically.
Direct Strikes on Displacement Tents and Residential Areas
Medical sources from various hospitals confirmed the casualties caused by the attacks:
Az-Zawayda: Sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah reported that early Thursday morning, an Israeli drone fired two missiles at a tent housing displaced people west of Az-Zawayda. The attack killed 27-year-old Abdul Rahim Waleed Matar. Another drone strike in the same area claimed another life.
Bureij Refugee Camp: According to Al-Awda Hospital, Israeli troops opened direct fire on homes and tents of displaced people in eastern Bureij, killing a child on the spot.
Khan Younis and Al-Mawasi: According to Nasser Medical Complex, a woman was killed and two others were injured in gunfire in areas outside Israeli military control in Khan Younis. Additionally, a man inside a tent facing Al-Mawasi sustained severe injuries and is undergoing surgery at Nasser Hospital.
Bombardment and Demolition Drive from Northern Gaza to Coastal Strips
An Israeli drone also targeted a crowd of residents in the Al-Baraka area of Deir al-Balah, injuring several people, with one remaining in critical condition. Meanwhile, sources at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza stated that a Palestinian was injured in a drone strike on an apartment in Al-Karama, northwest of Gaza City. Heavy artillery shelling by the Israeli army was reported in eastern Gaza City, while naval vessels fired toward the coastline.
According to local sources, heavy gunfire and bombardment took place around the Husni Al-Musaddar Mosque east of Maghazi Camp. East of Khan Younis, the Israeli army detonated explosives to blow up homes and civil infrastructure in areas under its control, resulting in two massive explosions. Furthermore, the Israeli military continues to advance east of Al-Musaddar and Deir al-Balah, using bulldozers on homes and farmland to seize more territory behind the so-called 'Yellow Line'.
