Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip continued today, Tuesday, as aerial and artillery bombardment resulted in the martyrdom of three people and injuries to a number of citizens. These aggressions come in the context of continuous violations by the occupation army of the ceasefire agreement signed last October 10, exacerbating the already deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Strip.
Field sources reported that the occupation army launched two raids targeting a house and a tent for displaced persons after issuing evacuation warnings, a tactic that has become a daily occurrence to terrorize civilians. In a related context, the spokesperson for the occupation army announced the liquidation of three Palestinians, claiming they attempted to cross the so-called 'Yellow Line,' which increases the intensity of field tension in border areas.
The eastern areas of Gaza City witnessed a renewal of intense artillery shelling, coinciding with air raids that targeted neighborhoods in the central governorate and northeast of Al-Bureij refugee camp. These military operations were not limited to fixed targets but extended to affect the simple infrastructure that displaced persons rely on for their daily lives under siege.
In the Sheikh Ajlin area, southwest of Gaza City, occupation aircraft targeted a tent designated for charging mobile phones and providing internet services to displaced persons. This raid caused severe material damage to nearby shelters, depriving hundreds of families of their only means of communication with the outside world.
In the southern part of the Strip, warplanes launched a raid on a house belonging to the Al-Qudra family in the vicinity of Hamad Residential City in Khan Yunis, an area crowded with displaced persons' tents. Although the raid did not result in immediate human casualties thanks to prior warnings, it caused widespread destruction that increased the suffering of the displaced who are living on the ground in that area.
Local sources confirmed that Israeli warships participated in the escalation by intermittently firing shells and machine guns towards the Gaza coast. This coincided with shooting and artillery shelling targeting the movements of citizens in various areas east of the Strip, leading to injuries among displaced persons who tried to move to meet their needs.
On the ground, video clips documented the continued extensive clearing and bulldozing operations by occupation bulldozers in the destroyed areas east of Gaza City. These military movements come at a time when residents are trying to restore their daily lives amidst the rubble, despite continuous security threats and intense drone flights.
In an update to its official data, the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the number of victims since the ceasefire began on October 11 has reached 648 martyrs. The ministry explained that medical teams dealt with more than 1,700 injured, in addition to recovering hundreds of bodies from under the rubble in various governorates of the Strip.
The ministry concluded its report by indicating that the total toll of the Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, has risen to 72,133 martyrs and 171,826 injured. These horrific figures reflect the magnitude of the humanitarian catastrophe experienced by the Palestinian people amid the continued systematic targeting of civilians and infrastructure.
The total number of victims of operations since the start of the ceasefire is 648 martyrs and 1,728 injured, indicating the continued escalation and its significant impact on displaced persons.
