Israeli occupation aircraft renewed their aerial raids today, Friday, on various areas in the central Gaza Strip, with shelling concentrated on Al-Maghazi camp and the city of Deir al-Balah. Field sources reported that the attacks resulted in the complete destruction of residential blocks and severe damage to infrastructure, a step that represents a new escalation and a violation of the ceasefire agreement in effect since last October.
In Al-Maghazi camp, warplanes launched violent raids that leveled two homes belonging to the Al-Aidi and Al-Khamisi families, after residents received warnings of forced evacuation. Sources stated that the intensity of the explosions left deep craters in the ground and damaged dozens of neighboring homes, forcing families to displace again to safer areas under harsh humanitarian conditions.
Eyewitnesses in the camp described the scene as tragic, with citizens attempting to retrieve their meager belongings from under the rubble using primitive hand tools. Residents indicated that the targeted residential block included about 20 homes inhabited by dozens of families, who are now homeless as a result of the destruction that affected the area surrounding the direct targeting sites.
For his part, citizen Abu Muhammad, one of those affected in Al-Maghazi, recounted the moments of terror his family of ten experienced before their home was destroyed. He explained that three families were living in the targeted building, noting that they were forced to seek refuge in the homes of their relatives after losing everything they owned, stressing that the repeated targeting has made life impossible in those areas.
In the neighboring city of Deir al-Balah, a warplane targeted an empty plot of land next to an inhabited house, causing windows to shatter and walls to crack in the surrounding buildings. Medical sources confirmed that there were no martyrs or injuries in this attack, but a state of panic spread among citizens, especially children and women, due to the sound of violent explosions.
As for the northern Gaza Strip, the occupation artillery continued to target shelters, with a shell directly hitting the 'Abu Hussein' school in Jabalia camp. A source in the medical services of the Ministry of Interior reported that five displaced persons who were using the school as a shelter were injured and were immediately transferred to nearby hospitals for necessary treatment.
These field developments come at a time when reports of the occupation's continuous violations of the truce agreement announced since 2025 are increasing. The Ministry of Health in Gaza clarified that these violations were not limited to material destruction but also led to heavy human losses, with hundreds of Palestinians martyred and thousands injured since the supposed agreement came into effect.
According to official statistics issued by the Ministry of Health, the number of victims of Israeli violations since October 2025 has reached about 981 martyrs and 3111 injured. These figures reflect the extent of the continuous escalation practiced by the occupation army in various governorates of the Strip, amid international silence regarding the targeting of civilians, residential blocks, and displacement centers.
Living conditions have become tragic after homes were destroyed and residents displaced; the army warned us to evacuate before destroying our home, which housed ten people.
