GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) — Five Palestinians, including women and children, were injured on Tuesday when Israeli forces opened fire in Gaza City, marking yet another violation of the ceasefire, according to Gaza’s Civil Defense.
The Civil Defense said Israeli military vehicles targeted homes in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, wounding five people. Two women and two children were among those injured.
Rescue teams, working with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), evacuated dozens of civilians who had been trapped since Monday night as Israeli tanks and drones fired heavily across the area.
Despite the ceasefire, Gaza City — along with Khan Younis and Rafah — has remained under near-daily Israeli attacks. The army continues to strike the eastern parts of these cities, areas designated as a military-controlled “yellow zone.”
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 356 Palestinians have been killed and more than 900 injured since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10.
Since October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured over 171,000, leaving large parts of the enclave destroyed.
