On Wednesday, Israel continued to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip with intense aerial raids, artillery shelling, and gunfire targeting various areas, including the vicinity of displaced persons' tents and shelters. These attacks resulted in casualties, predominantly women, children, and the elderly. Israeli artillery shelled the area around Wadi Gaza bridge while military vehicles and bulldozers operated nearby. Tanks fired on Palestinian homes and tents east of the Bureij camp in central Gaza. In the southern Strip, Israeli vehicles and tanks targeted eastern and southern areas of Khan Younis from dawn, with the Israeli army also demolishing Palestinian homes and structures in the city's eastern parts. Artillery shelling extended to areas northeast of Gaza City, accompanied by heavy gunfire east of and within the Maghazi camp.
These actions occur amidst ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire. The Gaza government media office reported 5,989 violations since the agreement took effect, including 753 in October alone, which resulted in 1,593 Palestinian deaths, 5,748 injuries, and 217 arrests, according to its figures. These violations persist despite U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement on July 31, 2026, of a "roadmap" for implementing ceasefire stages and ending the war, which Palestinian factions have accepted on multiple occasions.
The ongoing attacks are part of the sustained Israeli war on Gaza that began on October 7, 2023. This conflict has continued despite a truce agreement signed in Sharm El Sheikh on October 10, 2025, with widespread destruction and a worsening humanitarian situation due to the blockade and shortages of food and water.
