For the 187th consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 11, 2015, in the Gaza Strip. This violation is manifested in ongoing shelling, gunfire, and the demolition of civilian homes, along with the tightening of military restrictions at the crossings into the Strip.
Four Palestinians, including a child and a police officer, were killed when Israeli forces bombed a police vehicle in Gaza City.
The Ministry of Interior confirmed the deaths of a police officer and three civilians, one of whom was a child, and reported that nine others, including police officers and bystanders, were wounded, some critically, when Israeli warplanes targeted a police vehicle belonging to the Al-Tuffah and Al-Daraj police station in Gaza City during a routine patrol earlier today.
This morning, medical sources reported the arrival of a body at Al-Shifa Hospital, resulting from an attack on the Al-Alami area in the Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip.
In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli warplanes launched heavy airstrikes in two separate incidents east of Khan Younis, escalating tensions in the area.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces carried out extensive demolitions of Palestinian homes in the Abu Zeitoun area of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, coinciding with artillery shelling of eastern Gaza City.
The Zeitoun neighborhood in southeastern Gaza City and the Abu Zeitoun area of Jabalia camp witnessed further home demolitions, while military vehicles stationed along the eastern border of the central Gaza Strip resumed firing toward areas in the central part of the Strip.
