Israeli Army Conducts New Strikes in Gaza Strip Despite Ceasefire

Gaza strip: The Israeli army has reportedly violated the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip by conducting shelling and detonations in areas under its control. Local sources have confirmed that these actions took place on Monday, despite the ceasefire that was supposed to bring an end to the hostilities that began in October 2023.

According to Anadolu Agency, the ceasefire, which was implemented on October 10, was intended to halt the Israeli offensive that resulted in significant casualties, with more than 70,000 people killed and over 171,000 injured. However, the recent activities by Israeli forces indicate continued hostilities. Reports from local sources highlight that Israeli forces detonated residential buildings in western Rafah and engaged in gunfire east of the city, actions that contravene the terms of the ceasefire.

Additionally, the Israeli army has been accused of carrying out artillery and helicopter attacks in the eastern region of Khan Younis. These areas are reportedly under Israeli control as per the ceasefire terms. The Gaza media office has documented hundreds of ceasefire violations by Israel, which have resulted in the deaths of 373 Palestinians and injuries to 970 others since the ceasefire was supposed to take effect. Overall, the conflict has had a devastating impact on the region, with the majority of the casualties being women and children.
