Israeli occupation forces continued, for the 283rd consecutive day, what Palestinian sources describe as systematic violations of the “ceasefire” agreement, with 12 new breaches recorded at dawn Sunday, resulting in the killing of several Palestinians, including one woman, and many injuries.
The attacks included artillery and aerial strikes, live fire, targeting inhabited homes and tents sheltering displaced families, and the demolition of residential blocks.
Four Palestinians were killed and many others wounded in the latest assaults across the Gaza Strip. The escalation coincided with a protest march north of Gaza, where hundreds of Israelis—including ministers and members of the ruling right‑wing coalition—called for the re‑establishment of Israeli colonies in the Strip.
Gaza City (West, East, and Coastal Areas)
In western Gaza City, Israeli strikes targeted the Shati refugee camp, injuring displaced Palestinians after an apartment was hit.
Naval vessels fired shells toward the coast northwest of the city, while helicopters carried out strikes and live‑fire attacks in northern and eastern areas of the Strip. Artillery fire also hit neighborhoods east of Gaza City.
In the Zeitoun neighborhood east of Gaza City, displaced Palestinians—including a woman—were killed and injured in an artillery strike.
Medical teams said three slain and wounded Palestinians were transported to al‑Shifa Medical Complex after the attack on Kashko Street, noting that retrieving them earlier had been impossible due to ongoing bombardment. Several others were wounded by Israeli live rounds and shells in the same area.
They said the fatalities included a mother, and that her young daughter was injured when Israeli forces bombarded a tent in the Zeitoun neighborhood.
Zeitoun had already endured heavy artillery fire on Saturday following an Israeli evacuation order that forced dozens of families to flee the Dawla area, killing a woman and injuring several residents.
Central Gaza (Nuseirat, al‑Bureij)
In central Gaza, Israeli soldiers fired live rounds at displaced families near the Nuseirat refugee camp, wounding a woman.
South of the al‑Bureij refugee camp, an airstrike struck the vicinity of the Great Mosque, followed by explosives dropped from a drone.

Emergency Services said the attack targeted Palestinians in an area outside the Israeli military deployment zone.
On its part, the Palestinian Civil Defense confirmed that the strike hit displaced families outside areas under Israeli control.
Khan Younis (City, al‑Mawasi, Bani Suheila)
Further south, in Khan Younis, one Palestinian was killed and ten injured in an Israeli bombing targeting tents of displaced families in Mawasi Khan Younis.
Earlier, several Palestinians—including women and children—were wounded when an Israeli helicopter struck an apartment on Eidiyyeh Street west of Gaza City.
On Sunday evening, an Israeli airstrike on tents sheltering displaced families in Khan Younis killed at least one Palestinian and injured ten others, some critically.

Another Palestinian was moderately injured by Israeli gunfire near the Hamad residential complex north of the city.
Israeli artillery fire also targeted the Sheikh Nasser area and the vicinity of the Bani Suheila roundabout east of Khan Younis.
Five Palestinians were additionally injured by Israeli gunfire in the Bir 19 area of al‑Mawasi, west of Khan Younis.
Furthermore, a female child wounded by Israeli gunfire was transported to Nasser Medical Complex after Israeli forces opened fire toward family shelters in al‑Mawasi.
Northern Gaza (Gaza Coastline, Jabalia)
In northern Gaza, Israeli naval vessels fired shells and live rounds at the Gaza City coastline, while eastern Jabalia refugee camp was struck by artillery and helicopter fire.
Humanitarian and Civil Defense Operations
Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) teams evacuated 86 people—including 31 patients and 55 companions—toward the Rafah crossing for treatment outside Gaza.
Patients were prepared at the PRCS al‑Mawasi field hospital before being transferred to the crossing in coordination with the World Health Organization. The PRCS affirmed its continued participation in medical evacuations amid severe strain on Gaza’s health system.
In related developments, the Gaza Civil Defense announced the resumption of search and recovery operations for bodies trapped under rubble as part of the second phase of its recovery efforts.
The agency described the mission as a difficult and complex humanitarian effort with deep ethical significance for thousands of families still awaiting news of missing relatives.
It noted that its teams are operating with extremely limited resources, with current support from the International Committee of the Red Cross limited to one excavator, one loader, and one truck—far below operational needs.
Israel is expanding its area of control inside Gaza by pushing the “yellow line” deeper into Palestinian territory, with the Jerusalem Post reporting that Israel already occupies 67-70% of the Strip.

These developments follow the killing of ten Palestinians on Saturday during 16 Israeli ceasefire violations, including airstrikes, artillery fire, and attacks on homes, tents, and shelters housing displaced families.
The continued Israeli assaults underscore persistent breaches of the ceasefire through ongoing aerial and artillery bombardment, attacks on residential neighborhoods and displacement centers, and military incursions accompanied by live fire across the Gaza Strip.
These repeated violations deepen the suffering of Palestinians—particularly displaced families facing severe humanitarian conditions—and undermine efforts to stabilize the ceasefire amid ongoing military operations and daily field violations.
AI Messaging Campaign Targeted Millions of Americans, WSJ Finds
The Wall Street Journal reported that a large‑scale influence campaign targeting U.S. public opinion used AI‑generated text messages sent to millions of American mobile phones through an organization calling itself “Friends of Peace.”
According to the newspaper, the messages—sent from accounts using names such as Emma and Sarah—included questions and surveys related to U.S.–Israeli relations and ongoing U.S. discussions with Iran.
The report states that the project is led by Brad Parscale, former digital strategist, and adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, under an agreement the paper says is funded by the Israeli government with more than $45 million.
The campaign’s objective, according to the Wall Street Journal, is to shape American public attitudes toward Israel and its policies.
