Gaza city: Israeli warplanes and artillery targeted multiple areas across the Gaza Strip early Thursday in zones the Israeli army continues to occupy despite the ongoing ceasefire, witnesses said. Eyewitnesses reported that the attacks struck eastern Gaza City in the north, eastern areas of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, and eastern Khan Younis in the south.

According to Anadolu Agency, Israeli fighter jets targeted eastern Khan Younis as artillery fire and intermittent gunfire from military vehicles continued, while additional airstrikes hit areas east of the Bureij camp. In eastern Gaza City, the Zaytoun and Shujaiya neighborhoods were subjected to airstrikes and artillery shelling, though there was no immediate information on the specific targets of the attacks. So far, no casualties have been reported.

The ongoing military presence of the Israeli army continues in Gaza's southern and eastern buffer zones, as well as large parts of northern Gaza, with more than 50% of the enclave under occupation. The conflict, which began on Oct. 8, 2023, lasted two years and resulted in the deaths of more than 71,000 Palestinians and injuries to over 171,000, predominantly affecting women and children. Approximately 90% of Gaza's civilian infrastructure was destroyed during this period.

Despite the ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, Israeli attacks have continued, resulting in the deaths of 483 Palestinians and injuries to 1,287 others. Furthermore, Israel has imposed severe restrictions on the entry of food, shelter materials, and medical supplies into Gaza, exacerbating the dire living conditions for the approximately 2.4 million Palestinians residing in the region.
