Israeli Military Continues Gaza Strikes Despite Ceasefire Agreement

Israeli military operations have continued across the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire agreement intended to conclude two years of conflict in the Palestinian territory. Medical sources confirmed at least seven civilian injuries from renewed airstrikes in both northern and southern Gaza regions on Thursday.

In Gaza City's Zeitoun neighborhood, Israeli strikes wounded four civilians while sending smoke columns rising above targeted areas. Additional artillery and aerial bombardments hit the Tel Hawa and Sabra districts of Gaza City, with witnesses reporting sustained gunfire exchanges throughout the urban center, though immediate casualty figures remained unconfirmed.

Southern Gaza Operations

The southern city of Khan Younis experienced renewed shelling that left three people injured according to medical personnel. The attacks occurred despite the ceasefire arrangement negotiated in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, based on the 20-point peace framework originally presented by US President Donald Trump in late September.

The continued military actions raise immediate questions about the implementation timeline of the ceasefire agreement, which includes provisions for hostage-prisoner exchanges, Hamas disarmament, and Gaza reconstruction. The conflict has resulted in extensive Palestinian casualties and infrastructure destruction since October 2023, creating severe humanitarian conditions throughout the coastal enclave.
