Palestinian Journalist Alam Sabbah reported that the Israeli occupation forces carried out artillery shelling and multiple airstrikes along the Gaza border, launching fire belts in the eastern areas of Gaza City.

Sabbah added that Israeli warplanes launched several airstrikes targeting residential buildings in Gaza City, noting that due to the communication disruptions in the Strip, civil defense teams are facing challenges in carrying out their work.

The Israeli occupation continued its airstrikes on Khan Younis, targeting the al-Masri and Sarhan areas in the al-Manara neighborhood. Additionally, Israeli aircraft conducted an airstrike targeting a house in the al-Barahma area in Rafah.
