Israeli Forces Violate Gaza Ceasefire, Strike Homes and Displaced Persons

Israeli military forces committed 13 new violations of the Gaza ceasefire agreement early Monday, October 13, 2025. The truce, which was meant to end the war and allow aid into the Strip, has now been breached for the 361st consecutive day. In the past 24 hours, Israeli forces carried out 25 violations, resulting in the deaths of three Palestinians and injuries to dozens of displaced individuals. These breaches occurred despite a July 31, 2026, announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a new agreement to begin the second phase of a roadmap for Gaza. Meanwhile, airstrikes, artillery shelling, and gunfire continued across various parts of the Strip.

In southern Gaza, Israeli artillery shelled the eastern areas of Khan Yunis. Tanks fired heavily in the Abu al-Ajeen area, southeast of Deir al-Balah in the central Strip, coinciding with gunfire east of the Zeitoun neighborhood in eastern Gaza City. Israeli military vehicles also fired east of Qarara town, northeast of Khan Yunis, and tanks resumed shelling and firing east of the city after intense bombardment.

In central Gaza, Israeli tanks directly and heavily shelled Palestinian homes in the Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps. Apache helicopters fired towards the eastern areas of Bureij camp. Israeli forces detonated a booby-trapped robot in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, and demolished remaining residential buildings in the eastern parts of the city. They also blew up Palestinian structures in the northeastern areas of Bureij camp. Artillery shelled the Jabalia camp and the Beit Lahia project in the northern Strip.

Additionally, Israeli warships heavily shelled the coast of Gaza City, marking another violation of the ongoing truce.
