The Israeli army has continued air strikes and artillery shelling across Gaza, including the Tuffah neighbourhood, which has seen a noticeable escalation in recent days.

Since the ceasefire took effect, repeated Israeli violations have killed at least 486 Palestinians and wounded 1,341 others.

The ceasefire was supposed to end the genocidal war launched by Israel on October 8 2023, which lasted two years and left more than 71,000 Palestinians dead and 171,000 wounded.

The offensive also caused widespread destruction to about 90 percent of civilian infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the UN at roughly $70 billion.
