Palestinian Killed, 15 Injured in Israeli Strikes Amid Gaza Demolitions

A Palestinian was killed and 15 others were injured on Sunday in separate Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip. The strikes coincided with ongoing shelling, gunfire, and extensive demolitions of buildings and facilities near the "Yellow Line," which Israel considers a security buffer zone. Medical sources reported one fatality and 10 injuries from an Israeli airstrike targeting a vehicle in the Al-Hawz area, south of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Five Palestinians were wounded, one seriously, by shelling near the Engineers Syndicate headquarters northwest of Gaza City. The attacks occurred alongside artillery shelling of eastern Maghazi refugee camp and southern Khan Yunis, and gunfire from Israeli vehicles towards eastern and southern Khan Yunis and northern Beit Lahia. Israeli naval vessels also fired on the coastal areas of Rafah and Gaza. Concurrently, the Israeli military continued demolishing buildings and structures in eastern Gaza City and areas near the "Yellow Line." Residents expressed concerns that these demolitions could lead to expanded Israeli control and restrictions, potentially displacing more Palestinians from areas bordering the buffer zone. These developments come as UN data indicates Israeli forces occupy approximately 70% of Gaza. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement had resulted in 1,445 Palestinian deaths and 5,072 injuries as of Saturday.
