- A woman and a child have died as a result of the strikes.
‘Israeli’ forces shelled eastern areas of Gaza City's Shuja’iyya neighbourhood and launched overnight airstrikes on residential buildings across the Gaza Strip Thursday, according to local reports.
The strikes targeted several homes in Gaza City's al-Sabra and Shuja’iyya neighbourhoods, as well as the al-Shati area west of the city.
Several Palestinians were killed and others wounded in the attacks, according to the reports. Among those killed in a strike on a house in al-Sabra were a child, Hossam Abu Asr, and a woman, Intisar Abu Asr.
The attacks come amid continued violence despite a ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025. Reports of further airstrikes, artillery shelling and gunfire have raised questions over the implementation of the truce.
Gaza's Government Media Office said on Sep. 29 that it had recorded 5,147 ‘Israeli’ ceasefire violations since the agreement took effect, resulting in 1,421 Palestinian deaths and 4,983 injuries. The figures were released by the office and have not been independently verified.
The ceasefire was intended to halt the fighting and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, where widespread destruction and displacement have left many residents in need of shelter and essential supplies.
