Israeli forces continued to violate a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, engaging in the demolition of homes and residential structures, firing from military vehicles, tanks, and gunboats, and targeting the tents and shelters of displaced Palestinians. These actions resulted in casualties across various areas of the Strip.
The 381-day-old ceasefire, which began on October 10, 2025, is reportedly being undermined by ongoing Israeli violations, raising concerns about its collapse amidst widespread destruction and escalating humanitarian needs.
In northern Gaza, a displaced person was injured by Israeli army gunfire in the Al-Falouja area, while naval forces fired towards the coast of northern Gaza City. Israeli warplanes also conducted at least one airstrike near the western gate of the Islamic University, southwest of the city, hitting a group of displaced individuals and causing several injuries.
In the southern Gaza Strip, the area around Abu Hamid roundabout, east of Khan Younis, experienced intense firing from Israeli military vehicles. This coincided with artillery shelling targeting eastern parts of the city and naval gunfire directed at the Khan Younis coast.
In central Gaza, Israeli forces demolished two residential structures north of the Bureij camp. Homes and tents of displaced people northeast of the Nuseirat camp were also subjected to heavy gunfire from military vehicles.
In Gaza City, Israeli forces blew up Palestinian residences in the eastern areas of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood. Tanks fired intensely northeast and south of Khan Younis, with reports of casualties resulting from artillery and aerial bombardment.
These continued violations occur as Gaza's population grapples with the consequences of war, extensive destruction, and deteriorating humanitarian conditions. There are fears that ongoing military operations could further jeopardize the ceasefire agreement. A "roadmap" for implementing phases of a ceasefire and ending the war was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on July 31, 2026, and has been accepted by Palestinian factions on multiple occasions, despite daily Israeli breaches.
