Israel Keeps Violating Gaza Truce With Shelling, Home Demolitions and Fire on Displaced Families’ Tents
Israel continues to breach the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip with artillery shelling, heavy gunfire and the demolition of residential buildings in various areas, alongside attacks on the vicinity of displaced families’ tents in the eastern and southern parts of the enclave.
The Israeli occupation army continued at dawn on Monday to escalate its violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, through artillery shelling, gunfire from military vehicles and attacks on residential areas and displaced families’ tents in several parts of the enclave, along with the demolition of residential buildings east of Gaza City and in the town of Al-Masdar in the central Gaza Strip.
In the latest field developments, local sources reported hearing explosions caused by the demolition of residential buildings carried out by the occupation army east of Gaza City at dawn on Monday, with the sound of the blasts reaching areas of the Central Governorate.
This was preceded by Israeli artillery shelling with several heavy shells targeting the eastern areas of Gaza City on Sunday evening, as part of the ongoing attacks on areas east of the enclave.
In the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli military vehicles opened fire toward homes and citizens’ tents near the Yellow Line in Jabalia camp, posing a direct threat to the lives of residents and displaced people in the area.
In the Central Governorate, powerful explosions rang out during the night hours, caused by the demolition of residential buildings east of the town of Al-Masdar, according to local sources, with the sound of the blasts heard in other areas of the governorate.
In the southern Gaza Strip, Khan Younis witnessed intense gunfire from Israeli military vehicles targeting the center and south of the city, alongside artillery shelling that hit the area east of Batan Al-Samin south of the city.
Israeli tanks also opened heavy fire toward the eastern areas of Hamad City north of Khan Younis, while the occupation army fired an illumination bomb over Al-Sikka Street south of the city.
Gunfire from Israeli military vehicles resumed east and south of Khan Younis during the night hours, targeting displaced families’ tents in the center and south of the city, amid continued military attacks in areas near the Yellow Line.
In a related context, Hebrew Channel 12 reported during the night hours expectations that loud explosions would be heard in towns and settlements adjacent to the Gaza Strip as a result of the destruction of buildings and infrastructure inside the enclave, indicating that the demolition operations carried out by the occupation army are continuing.
Clarifying the field developments east of Khan Younis, local sources said that no advance by Israeli military vehicles was recorded in the area, and that the sounds of explosions and gunfire heard were caused by artillery shelling and shooting, not by a new incursion of vehicles.
These attacks come amid continuous violations of the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on 10 October 2025, with shelling, gunfire and the destruction of residential buildings continuing in various parts of the enclave.
According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the toll of martyrs from the occupation army’s violations of the ceasefire agreement since it took effect has risen to 1,610, while 5,819 citizens have been injured.
