Israeli occupation forces carried out extensive demolitions and airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, targeting residential areas in Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Rafah—despite the ongoing “ceasefire” agreement declared on October 11.

Military bulldozers and armored vehicles opened fire on areas east of Gaza City while simultaneously demolishing homes in the Zeitoun and Shuja’iyya neighborhoods, sending plumes of smoke rising from the wreckage.

In southern Gaza, Israeli artillery and gunfire continued east of Khan Younis, where residential buildings were also destroyed.

Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes launched three airstrikes on Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, further escalating the destruction.

Despite the declared ceasefire, Israeli attacks have killed at least 226 Palestinians and injured more than 594.

Rescue teams have also recovered 499 bodies from the rubble, and 30 additional remains were returned by Israeli authorities, bringing the total number of retrieved bodies to 225.

Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, the death toll has surpassed 68,858, with at least 170,664 wounded—most of them children and women.
