- 'Israeli' military conducts airstrikes and artillery shelling across eastern Gaza, including Al-Tuffah, Rafah, Khan Younis, and Al-Bureij.
- Since the October 11 ceasefire, 391 Palestinians have been killed and 1,063 wounded amid ongoing violations.
- 59 countries express readiness to join a Gaza stabilization force, with the U.S. monitoring ceasefire compliance and regional disarmament efforts.
The 'Israeli' military launched air raids and artillery shelling on multiple areas in eastern Gaza on Tuesday, targeting regions supposedly under occupation control according to the ceasefire agreement.
Palestinian sources reported that the 'Israeli' army struck the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, while tanks fired heavily across the area. Other areas hit included eastern Rafah, Khan Younis, and eastern Al-Bureij, with multiple sites subjected to intensive shelling and fire.
Airstrikes were also reported in the northeastern areas of Al-Bureij refugee camp, accompanied by simultaneous artillery bombardments across various locations.
Casualties since ceasefire
Palestinian sources have documented hundreds of violations by 'Israeli' forces since the ceasefire came into effect on October 11, including airstrikes, artillery fire, and shootings. These attacks have resulted in 391 Palestinians killed and 1,063 wounded.
The recent strikes come in the context of a large-scale conflict that began in October 2023 and has lasted over two years, claiming more than 70,000 Palestinian lives and injuring approximately 171,000. The UN estimates reconstruction costs for Gaza at around USD 70 billion due to widespread destruction.
International response and Washington’s position
In related developments, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that 59 countries have expressed readiness to join a stabilization force in Gaza. He noted that Washington will assess whether the assassination of Qassam Brigades leader Raed Saad constitutes a breach of the ceasefire.
Trump also stated that efforts are underway to achieve “real peace in the Middle East” and that the positions of Hamas and Hezbollah regarding declared disarmament will be closely monitored.
The ongoing military activity underscores the fragile nature of the ceasefire in Gaza and highlights the urgent need for international engagement to prevent further escalation and civilian casualties.
