Martyr and Wounded in Gaza.. Occupation Blows Up Residential Blocks and Targets Displaced Persons' Tents

Field sources reported the martyrdom of a Palestinian woman and the injury of several citizens, including children, as a result of attacks carried out by the Israeli occupation army in various areas of the Gaza Strip today, Thursday. These developments come amidst continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since last October, as bullets and artillery shelling targeted civilian gatherings.

In details of the attacks, the woman was martyred after being directly shot by occupation forces stationed outside their deployment areas east of the Maghazi refugee camp in the central Strip. Medical teams also transported a 12-year-old child to the hospital after he was shot by occupation forces in the Al-Atatra area of Beit Lahia town to the north, and his condition was described as moderate.

The Mawasi Khan Yunis area in the southern Strip witnessed a dangerous escalation, where a child was seriously injured as a result of the area being targeted by heavy machine gun fire and artillery shells. In separate incidents, two other Palestinians were shot by occupation forces, one near Ali Mosque in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City, and the other in the eastern areas of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

On the ground, the occupation army carried out three demolition operations of residential buildings located within what is known as the 'Yellow Line' in the areas of Bani Suhaila, Sheikh Nasser, and Al-Tahliah east of Khan Yunis city. The demolition operations coincided with intense artillery shelling and movements of military vehicles that fired heavily at citizens' homes in Qizan Rashwan and Qizan Al-Najjar south of the city.

In Gaza City, Israeli warships continued to target displaced persons' tents erected along the coast and in the northern areas of the Strip using machine guns. These attacks caused panic among displaced families who are already suffering from harsh living conditions amidst the continued siege and intermittent military operations.

In parallel with the military aggression, displaced persons in the Unknown Soldier area in central Gaza City faced difficult weather conditions that led to the collapse of a tent on its occupants due to strong winds. Palestinian civil defense teams rushed to the scene to remove the rubble and secure the affected families, amidst a severe shortage of necessary capabilities and equipment to cope with the repercussions of winter.

Israeli artillery shelling extended to include the eastern outskirts of the Bureij and Deir al-Balah camps in the central governorate, in addition to the Shuja'iyya, Tuffah, and Zeitoun neighborhoods east of Gaza City. Eyewitnesses confirmed that firing from military vehicles did not stop throughout daylight hours, preventing farmers from reaching their lands near the separation fence.

Data issued by the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip indicates that the toll of Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement has reached alarming numbers since its inception. According to official statistics, occupation forces have killed 713 Palestinians and injured 1940 others in various incidents including shelling, direct shooting, and limited incursions.

Local circles are anxiously monitoring the increasing military movements along the 'Yellow Line' that separates Israeli-controlled areas from areas where Palestinians are allowed to be present. Citizens fear that these repeated violations could lead to the collapse of fragile understandings, at a time when humanitarian suffering continues due to the destruction of infrastructure and residential buildings.

The occupation forces continue their daily violations of the ceasefire agreement, which has led to an increase in the number of victims to hundreds of martyrs and wounded since last October.
