Gaza: The Israeli occupation army has continued to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, launching new bombardments and artillery shelling on multiple areas across the enclave on Sunday.
According to Qatar News Agency, Palestinian sources reported ongoing artillery shelling targeting the eastern areas of Rafah and Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. This was accompanied by intense gunfire from armored vehicles and tanks positioned along the eastern border, striking Palestinian homes and agricultural lands.
In the north, Israeli occupation vehicles stationed east of Tuffah, Shujaiyya, and the Jabalia refugee camp opened heavy fire, while artillery units bombarded the eastern parts of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.
Field sources also confirmed that Israeli forces are continuing large-scale demolitions in the eastern areas of the Gaza Strip, causing loud explosions as they destroy residential neighborhoods and homes located within the so-called “yellow line” along the separation barrier between Gaza and the Israeli-occupied territories.
The violations further include continued targeting and killing of civilians, renewed shelling of various areas across Gaza, and the ongoing closure of the Rafah border crossing. This closure is preventing the evacuation of the wounded and sick for treatment and hindering the entry of humanitarian aid in the agreed-upon quantities and mechanisms.
The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel came into effect on October 10, as part of the first phase of US President Donald Trump’s initiative aimed at ending the war on Gaza.
