The Israeli occupation army unleashed a new wave of brutal airstrikes at dawn on Thursday, targeting residential areas across the Gaza Strip, particularly east of Khan Yunis and Gaza City, in a fresh act of aggression that shattered the recently declared ceasefire.

According to local sources, Israeli warplanes and artillery bombed several neighborhoods — including Ma’an, Sheikh Nasser, and Jorat al-Lout — while occupation forces simultaneously opened heavy fire on the same areas, spreading terror among civilians already living amid ruins and displacement.

In Gaza City, massive explosions echoed through the early hours as Israeli forces demolished multiple homes, leaving families homeless and entire blocks reduced to rubble. Witnesses described scenes of horror as residents searched for survivors beneath the debris.

Health authorities in Gaza reported that Israeli airstrikes launched since Tuesday night have killed and wounded at least 363 Palestinians, the vast majority women and children. Hospitals are struggling to treat the influx of casualties, with medical facilities facing severe shortages of fuel, medicine, and essential equipment due to the ongoing blockade.

The relentless assault, coming just days after a ceasefire was announced, underscores Israel’s continued disregard for international law and humanitarian principles. Palestinian officials condemned the attacks as a flagrant violation of the truce and accused the occupation of deliberately targeting civilian homes and infrastructure to inflict maximum suffering.

“The enemy’s aggression is proof that Israel has never respected any ceasefire or humanitarian commitment,” said a spokesperson for the Palestinian resistance. “Our people will not bow to this terror.”

Human rights organizations have denounced the renewed bombings, warning that Israel’s actions could amount to war crimes. They called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop the bloodshed and protect Gaza’s besieged population.

Residents described the night as one of the most terrifying since the start of Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza. “We thought the truce meant safety,” said one survivor from Khan Yunis. “But for us, there is no ceasefire — only more death and destruction.”

As Israeli drones continued to hover over the enclave’s skies on Thursday morning, Palestinians braced for yet another round of bombardment — another grim reminder that for Gaza’s people, occupation and aggression have never ceased, not even under the banner of a ceasefire. (ILKHA)
