Five Palestinians, including a woman, were killed and others injured in separate Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Friday. On Saturday morning, artillery shelling and gunfire resumed, coinciding with the demolition of homes in Gaza City and other areas.
Local sources reported intense gunfire targeting the area around Wadi Gaza bridge in the central governorate, and renewed gunfire northeast of the Bureij camp. One Palestinian was injured by Israeli forces' fire while a home was destroyed east of the Maghazi camp. In Gaza City, Israeli forces detonated homes in the eastern areas and deployed explosive-laden robots in the Shujaiya neighborhood. Gunfire was also reported east of the Tuffah neighborhood, with artillery shelling targeting the city's eastern areas. The explosions caused part of a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood to collapse.
Artillery shelling continued in the northern Gaza Strip, accompanied by the firing of illumination flares. The eastern areas of Gaza City experienced two new home demolitions. In southern Gaza, intense artillery shelling and gunfire targeted the eastern and southern areas of Khan Younis. Fire was directed at tents housing displaced people near the Austrian Cemetery west of the city.
In Rafah, Israeli naval vessels fired shells and opened fire offshore. Helicopters also fired on western areas, and tents housing displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area were targeted. On Friday, the five Palestinians killed included one in northern Gaza by a drone strike in the Al-Tawam area, and another in a strike on a home in Jabalia camp. In Gaza City, one Palestinian was killed and others injured in a strike on the Al-Nimsr neighborhood, while another died from injuries sustained in a previous strike on Sheikh Radwan. In southern Gaza, a 50-year-old woman was killed by Israeli forces in the Beer 19 area of Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis.
The Israeli attacks on Gaza continue amidst increasing risks to civilians and displaced persons residing in tents and damaged residential areas.
