The Israeli army is deployed along what is known as the “Yellow Line,” a so-called “security strip” imposed by Israel inside Gaza. Palestinians are barred from approaching these areas, while Israel occupies more than 70 percent of the enclave.
On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the army controls about 70 percent of Gaza despite the ceasefire agreement.
In southern Gaza, the Israeli army demolished facilities and buildings northeast of Khan Younis, with Palestinians reporting the sound of a massive explosion caused by the demolition. The blast coincided with heavy gunfire from Israeli vehicles stationed east of the city, along with artillery shelling.
Israeli military vehicles also opened fire toward tents housing displaced Palestinians in the Al-Mawasi area northwest of Rafah in southern Gaza. No casualties were reported.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, Israeli violations of the ceasefire have killed 1,041 Palestinians and wounded 3,372 others since October 10, 2025.
Overall, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 173,000 wounded since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza on October 8, 2023, while widespread destruction has affected 90 percent of civilian infrastructure.
