Israeli forces intensified their attacks across the Gaza Strip starting early Sunday, employing artillery shelling, demolitions, and gunfire from military vehicles and drones. The operations targeted civilian homes and the tents of displaced people as part of ongoing violations. Early Sunday, 12 Israeli violations were recorded, resulting in the injury of over eight displaced individuals whose tents were directly targeted in the Shujaiyeh neighborhood of Gaza City and areas of Khan Younis, according to available data.
In Gaza City, Israeli forces carried out demolitions in the eastern Shujaiyeh neighborhood and the southeastern Zeitoun neighborhood, accompanied by aerial bombardment of a multi-story residential building. "Quadcopter" drones also fired heavily around the Shujaiyeh and Tuffah neighborhoods, damaging homes with gunfire. A drone targeted Yaffa Street in the eastern part of the city with live fire.
In central and southern Gaza, Israeli military vehicles fired intensely at the tents of displaced people in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis and Rafah. The eastern areas of the Bureij refugee camp also came under fire. Additionally, Rafah was subjected to Israeli artillery shelling, while intermittent shelling occurred from eastern Khan Younis toward western Rafah.
These attacks are occurring amidst continued Israeli violations, including shelling, gunfire, building demolitions, and targeting of residential areas and displacement camps. These actions exacerbate the dangers faced by thousands of displaced people, particularly families living in tents lacking basic protection and safety.
