Israel launches deadly strikes in Gaza in further ceasefire violations | Israeli-Palestinian conflict News

The Israeli army continues to demolish structures in northern Gaza while blocking the entry of aid.

The Israeli military has launched more attacks in areas of Gaza outside its direct military control, despite the US-brokered ceasefire deal in October.

At least three Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli attacks in Khan Younis on Sunday, medical sources told Al Jazeera.

They included a 15-year-old boy, a fisherman and a third man shot dead east of Khan Younis.

In the central part of the besieged enclave, Israeli fire injured several people east of the Bureij refugee camp.

In the northern Gaza City, Israeli forces continued to demolish homes and civilian infrastructure in the largely destroyed Tuffah neighborhood.

The Israeli military confirmed it was destroying more infrastructure in northern Gaza, but claimed the target was “terrorist infrastructure above and below ground”, including the Beit Lahiya tunnels.

Israeli drones also dropped explosives on several houses in eastern Gaza City. The Shujayea and Zeitoun neighborhoods of Gaza City, which were also widely attacked during more than two years of Israeli genocidal war, were hit by artillery bombardments.

At least 71,386 Palestinians have been killed and another 171,264 injured since the war began in October 2023, according to the latest figures from Gaza’s health ministry. At least 420 people have been killed since the ceasefire was signed less than three months ago.

The Israeli military continues to block much of the international humanitarian aid piling up on the border with Gaza, while claiming there is no shortage of aid despite testimonies from the United Nations and others working on the ground.

It also decided to ban several leading international humanitarian groups from operating in Gaza, including Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and the Norwegian Refugee Council.
