Nine Palestinians have been killed and others injured in Israeli air strikes targeting a displaced people’s tent and civilians in northern and southern Gaza in a fresh violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Five Palestinians were killed and others wounded in an Israeli air strike that hit a group of civilians southwest of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, medical sources said on Sunday.
In the north, four Palestinians were killed and several others injured when an Israeli drone strike targeted a tent housing displaced people in the Al Faluja area west of the town of Jabalia, according to paramedics and eyewitnesses.
Extensive demolitions of Palestinian homes
Separately, the Israeli army carried out extensive demolitions of Palestinian homes northeast of the Jabalia refugee camp, accompanied by heavy artillery shelling and gunfire from Israeli military vehicles in the area.
The attacks came after the army claimed on Saturday it had detected fighters emerging near its forces in northern Gaza.
Israel's war on Gaza, which began on October 8 2023, and lasted two years, has killed more than 72,000 Palestinians, wounded over 171,000 others, and caused widespread destruction affecting 90 percent of civilian infrastructure. The UN estimates reconstruction costs at approximately $70 billion.
At least 591 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,578 others injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
