Israeli forces continued shelling, firing, and demolishing homes across the Gaza Strip on Saturday. Intense gunfire was reported from Israeli vehicles near the Wadi Gaza bridge in the central Gaza Strip. This follows a day on Friday when five Palestinians, including a woman, were killed and others injured in Israeli attacks.
Reports from the ground indicated renewed firing from Israeli vehicles northeast of the Bureij refugee camp, with one person wounded by Israeli fire east of the camp. A home was also destroyed east of the Maghazi refugee camp. In Gaza City, Israeli forces continued demolishing homes in eastern areas, using explosive robots and engaging in artillery shelling and gunfire. The Shuja'iya neighborhood saw two explosive robots detonated, while Israeli vehicles fired on the eastern areas of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood. Artillery also targeted eastern parts of the city, and vibrations from demolitions caused part of a home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood to collapse.
Early Saturday, artillery shelling and illumination flares were reported in northern Gaza, along with two home demolitions east of Gaza City. In the southern Gaza Strip, intense artillery shelling and gunfire occurred in the eastern and southern areas of Khan Younis. Local reports stated that Israeli forces fired on tents sheltering displaced people in the Austrian cemeteries area, west of the city.
In Rafah, Israeli naval vessels fired shots and shells off the coast, while helicopters fired on western areas. Israeli forces also targeted tents of displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area.
These events occurred a day after five people were killed on Friday. In northern Gaza, a Palestinian was killed by an Israeli drone in the Al-Tawam area, and another died from shelling that hit a home in the Jabalia refugee camp. In Gaza City, one person was killed and others injured by Israeli shelling in the Al-Nasr neighborhood, and another died from wounds sustained in an Israeli shelling of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.
