Israeli occupation forces carried out airstrikes and artillery shelling on various areas of the Gaza Strip, alongside the demolition of buildings in several locations across the territory.

A Palestinian child was killed in an Israeli strike east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, in an area from which the army had withdrawn under a ceasefire agreement. Israeli military vehicles opened fire toward the eastern areas of the city, while Israeli helicopters fired toward the eastern areas of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

Journalistic sources reported that the occupation army carried out demolition operations in areas under its control in the northern Gaza Strip, while Israeli artillery continued shelling east of Gaza City.

The Gaza Fishermen’s Committees Union stated that Israeli forces detained two fishermen after Israeli naval boats opened fire on fishing boats off the coast of Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City.
