Israeli occupation forces have continued their air and artillery strikes 
on Gaza, even after reports of a unilateral announcement of ceasing 
offensive action 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--must-stop-bombing-gaza-now--trump-says-after-hamas>, 
according to *Al Mayadeen*’s correspondent. Witnesses described an 
escalation in attacks, with Israeli occupation forces targeting 
civilians, displaced persons, and humanitarian service providers.

Our correspondent confirmed that Israeli jets and artillery have 
directly pursued humanitarian workers in Gaza City, opening fire on 
displaced residents after warning them to evacuate and chasing them 
across multiple locations. Northern districts of Gaza City experienced 
intense bombardment, while a home in the al-Mushahira area of the Tuffah 
neighborhood was struck, leaving four Palestinians martyred and several 
injured.

Additional airstrikes hit al-Sabra Street in the southern Tuffah 
neighborhood, resulting in multiple casualties, while artillery targeted 
northern al-Bureij refugee camp and central Khan Younis. Near the Hamad 
residential area north of Khan Yunis, a child was injured by Israeli 
gunfire.

In one of the deadliest strikes

two children were killed and eight others injured when an Israeli drone 
targeted a tent for displaced families in al-Mawasi, northwest of Khan 
Yunis.

This surge in attacks comes amid expectations of negotiations, creating 
a stark contrast with prior statements reported by Israeli media 
outlets, which cited political directives instructing the Israeli 
military command to conduct “defensive operations” only. Despite these 
instructions, the field situation indicates that occupation forces have 
continued offensive actions, endangering civilians and humanitarian 
operations.
