<p>Israeli occupation forces have continued their air
and artillery strikes on Gaza, even after reports of a
unilateral announcement of <a

target="_blank" rel="noopener"
moz-do-not-send="true">ceasing offensive action</a>,
according to <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>\u2019s
correspondent. Witnesses described an escalation in
attacks, with Israeli occupation forces targeting
civilians, displaced persons, and humanitarian service
providers.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>In one of the <a

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

<p>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 \u201cdefensive operations\u201d
only. Despite these instructions, the field situation
indicates that occupation forces have continued
offensive actions, endangering civilians and
humanitarian operations.</p>
