Israel Launches New Gaza Strikes After Alleged Armed Breach, Testing Fragile Ceasefire

Reports from Gaza put the death toll between 14 and 24, intensifying mediator calls to keep the truce.

Overview

  • Israel’s military said it struck targets after an armed person crossed the Yellow Line in southern Gaza via a humanitarian road and fired at troops, with no Israeli casualties reported.
  • Local health and civil defence officials in Gaza reported multiple strikes, including a car hit in Gaza City’s Rimal area and homes in Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat, with dozens wounded including children.
  • The IDF said its forces also killed five suspected militants in Rafah scans and two others in separate northern Gaza incidents involving crossings into Israeli-held areas.
  • A day earlier, the IDF released footage of a major Rafah tunnel complex and said about 15 fighters surfaced near the ceasefire line, with six killed and five surrendering and detained.
  • In the West Bank, Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinian teenagers in an overnight raid in Kfar Aqab as settler attacks surged, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to convene an emergency cabinet meeting.
