During the night, the Gaza Strip witnessed intense aggression by "Israel", which targeted multiple areas from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip.

In the North, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the northern borders of Beit Lahia came under heavy fire and artillery shells, and an Israeli airstrike targeted the city.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent added that Israeli artillery shelling targeted the eastern areas of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip and the eastern Al-Zaytoun neighborhood near Gaza City.

In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli warplanes carried out a raid on an agricultural land in the Juhr al-Dik area, and another on al-Maghraqa area, north of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

In the southern Gaza Strip, the area east of Rafah witnessed heavy artillery shelling and heavy gunfire from a helicopter, while Israeli warplanes fired phosphorus bombs.

Our correspondent also reported an Israeli raid targeting a house east of Rafah, accompanied by shelling from occupation vessels on the city.

Israeli venture in Rafah doomed to failure: PIJ's al-Hindi - Exclusive

Deputy Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, Mohammad al-Hindi, considered Tuesday that the proposal for a ceasefire agreement has not collapsed, clarifying that it is currently "in the hands of the mediators."

Al-Hindi affirmed to Al Mayadeen that there is a national consensus on the draft agreement endorsed by the mediators, including the United States, adding that the document presented by Hamas on behalf of the Resistance factions represents the Palestinian national stance.

The PIJ official indicated that the Palestinian consensus is met with Israeli confusion, adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has lost all means of pressure and does not want an agreement, as it would depict the end of his political career.

He reiterated that the stance of the Resistance remains clear and prioritizes the interests of the Palestinian people, which is also echoed by the mediators who are today under trial.

Al-Hindi mentioned that the main issue that needed to be discussed in the agreement was a ceasefire and its "sustainability", affirming that the mediators provided guarantees for a permanent cessation of hostilities.

The Palestinian official said, contrary to Israeli claims, that "Israel's" approval of the mediators' proposal was conveyed to the Resistance.
