Local sources reported that Israeli artillery launched an intense bombardment throughout the night on the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City, including the areas of Zeitoun, Shuja'iyya and Tuffah, coinciding with heavy gunfire from helicopters.
Israeli warplanes carried out a raid inside army-controlled areas east of Gaza City, while gunboats fired their machine guns heavily near the coast of the Shati camp and the tents of displaced people in the fishermen’s port west of the city.
The warplanes also launched two raids inside what is called the "yellow line" east of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip, coinciding with artillery shelling that targeted the Al-Mawasi area northwest of Rafah city.
The term “yellow line” refers to the line to which the Israeli occupation army withdrew inside Gaza as part of the second phase of the plan announced by US President Donald Trump to end the war on the Strip, separating areas of full Israeli control from areas where Palestinians are allowed to remain.
In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli artillery shelled areas east of Juhr ad-Dik and northeast of al-Bureij refugee camp. No casualties have been reported so far.
On Wednesday evening, the Israeli occupation bombed a building housing hundreds of displaced people in the Ansar area, west of Gaza City, which led to a fire and the burning of a number of tents of displaced people surrounding the site and the displacement of dozens of families.
Local sources reported that Israeli warplanes launched several raids on a government building after issuing an evacuation warning, causing it to catch fire and the flames to spread to tents sheltering Palestinian families displaced from their homes destroyed by the two-year war on the Gaza Strip.
For its part, the Civil Defense Authority in Gaza said that firefighting crews were able to control the fire that broke out in the tents of displaced people in the Ansar area as a result of the occupation targeting one of the buildings, without any casualties being recorded so far.
Around 1.9 million displaced people out of a population of 2.4 million in the Gaza Strip are living in harsh conditions in dilapidated tents lacking the most basic necessities of life, after Israel destroyed their homes during the war.
Despite the ceasefire agreement, living conditions in the Gaza Strip have not improved, due to Israel's failure to fulfill its obligations under the agreement to allow the entry of the agreed quantities of food, relief, medical aid, and shelter materials such as tents and mobile homes.
The Israeli occupation army continues to commit daily violations of the agreement by bombing and shooting, which, since its implementation until Wednesday, has resulted in the martyrdom of 650 Palestinians and the injury of 1,732 others.
With American support, Israel launched a genocide in Gaza on October 8, 2023, which lasted two years and left more than 72,000 martyrs and about 172,000 wounded Palestinians, and widespread destruction affecting 90% of the civilian infrastructure.
