Gaza, MINA – Israeli artillery shelled various areas across the Gaza Strip early Saturday, and the army carried out demolition operations targeting buildings east of Khan Younis in the southern enclave, as part of ongoing daily violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since Oct. 10, Anadolu Agency reported.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli artillery struck multiple locations east of Gaza City and east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip. They added that demolition operations targeting buildings and homes east of Khan Younis triggered a massive explosion heard across large parts of Gaza.
Israeli naval vessels also opened fire toward the coasts of Rafah and Khan Younis, while an Israeli helicopter fired shots over Rafah.
Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire despite a January announcement by the US administration that the second phase of the agreement had begun. This phase includes additional Israeli withdrawals from Gaza and the launch of reconstruction efforts, estimated by the UN to cost about $70 billion.[]
