The Israeli army killed three Palestinians, including a child, and injured others in the latest ceasefire violations in Gaza, as its forces continue to expand areas under its occupation in the territory, medical sources and witnesses said.<\/p>\n
The sources said an Israeli drone strike struck a gathering of civilians on Al-Baraka Street in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, killing three people and wounding others.<\/p>\n
Two more people were also injured by Israeli artillery shelling that targeted the Al-Salatin area in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, the sources added.<\/p>\n
Separately, several Israeli military vehicles advanced on Salah al-Din Street in the Nuseirat refugee camp, amid gunfire and artillery shelling, witnesses said.<\/p>\n
Israeli vehicles moved concrete blocks marking the \u201cYellow Line\u201d about 150 meters west, expanding areas under Israeli occupation north of the Wadi Gaza Bridge in central Gaza, they added.<\/p>\n
The Israeli army is deployed along what is known as the \u201cYellow Line,\u201d a security strip imposed by Israel inside the Gaza Strip. Palestinians are barred from approaching these areas, while Israel occupies more than 70% of the enclave.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the army controls about 70% of the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n
In southern Gaza, the Israeli army demolished facilities and buildings northeast of Khan Younis, with Palestinians reporting the sound of a massive explosion caused by the demolition. The blast coincided with heavy gunfire from Israeli vehicles stationed east of the city, along with artillery shelling.<\/p>\n
Israeli military vehicles also opened fire toward tents housing displaced Palestinians in the Al-Mawasi area northwest of Rafah in southern Gaza. No casualties were reported.<\/p>\n
According to Gaza Health Ministry figures, Israeli violations of the ceasefire have killed 1,041 Palestinians and injured 3,372 others since Oct. 10, 2025.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n
Overall, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 173,000 injured since the start of Israel\u2019s war on Gaza on Oct. 8, 2023, while widespread destruction has affected 90% of civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n
