Injuries in Israeli shelling that destroyed a home in Al-Shati camp and escalating violations in Gaza

Field sources reported that nine Palestinian citizens, including a child, were injured as a result of an airstrike carried out by Israeli occupation warplanes on Friday evening, targeting a residential home in Al-Shati camp, west of Gaza City. The attack came shortly after threats were directed at residents, forcing them to evacuate the residential block surrounding the targeted home, a step that reflects the continuation of Israeli policy in terrorizing civilians and destroying their property.

The Civil Defense in Gaza confirmed that occupation aircraft launched at least one war missile towards a ground-floor house belonging to the 'Al-Adham' family. The statement clarified that the shelling resulted in the complete destruction of the home, in addition to severe damage to dozens of neighboring homes and buildings, and the outbreak of fires in several of them, exacerbating the suffering of families who are now homeless.

This raid comes in the context of a series of continuous Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025. Despite the declared calm, Israeli military operations have not stopped, as forces continue to systematically target residential neighborhoods and civilian facilities in various areas of the Strip.

In the southern part of the Strip, local sources stated that occupation tanks stationed in the border areas fired their heavy machine guns and shells intensively east of Khan Yunis city. This shelling coincided with artillery targeting other areas within the city, causing a state of panic among displaced persons trying to return to their normal lives under harsh humanitarian conditions.

The escalation was not limited to land but extended to the Palestinian coasts, where occupation warships heavily fired their heavy machine guns towards the beaches of Gaza City. This naval targeting aims to tighten the noose on fishermen and civilians in the western areas, which are crowded with hundreds of thousands of displaced persons fleeing military operations in the eastern part of the Strip.

In the central part of the Strip, occupation artillery shelled the vicinity of Wadi Gaza Bridge, an area located northeast of Nuseirat and Bureij camps. This repeated artillery shelling hinders movement between the governorates of the Strip and increases the danger of security conditions in areas considered vital passages for citizens and relief teams.

Gaza City witnessed another crime on Thursday, which resulted in the martyrdom of three Palestinian police officers and the injury of others. The incident occurred when occupation aircraft targeted a guard post belonging to a security headquarters in the western area of the city, as part of the occupation's continuous attempts to undermine the security and civilian system in Gaza.

Ministry of Health statistics indicate that the extent of Israeli violations since the signing of the ceasefire agreement has led to the martyrdom of 846 people and the injury of 2418 others. These figures reflect the occupation's non-compliance with international agreements and its continued use of excessive force against unarmed civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Civil Defense appealed to the international community, human rights organizations, and mediators for urgent and effective intervention to protect civilians. The statement stressed the importance of exerting real pressure on the occupation authorities to stop targeting residential neighborhoods and civilian facilities, which have become a constant target for the Israeli military machine despite existing understandings.

It is worth noting that the Gaza Strip has been experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe since the start of the genocide war in October 2023, which has left more than 72,000 martyrs and over 172,000 injured. This suffering continues under the Israeli army's control of large areas of the Strip, forcing residents to crowd into narrow areas lacking the most basic necessities of life.

The Israeli shelling led to the complete destruction of the home and damage to dozens of neighboring buildings, threatening to deprive many families of their shelter due to the extent of the destruction and the existing danger.
