Al Mayadeen's correspondent from Salah al-Din Street in the central Gaza Strip, which connects all the districts, reported that “the occupation opened fire and launched an artillery shell toward residents in the Salah al-Din area.”
Our correspondent confirmed that “the occupation tanks are still inside the town and are stationed in front of the Kuwait Roundabout.”
Similarly, residents of Beit Hanoun reported that “the occupation army is still inside the town and has not withdrawn to its outskirts and is arresting a number of young men and shooting them.”
Locals have reported several injuries as Israeli occupation forces have reportedly opened fire at a pool of people trying to get to Beit Hanoun.

The temporary truce between the Israeli occupation and the Resistance in Gaza came into effect at 7 am, following an Israeli aggression that has persisted for 47 days, leaving thousands injured and killed.
The truce will last for four days subject to potential extension. The truce entails the liberation of a number of imprisoned Palestinian women and minors (under the age of 19) from Israeli occupation jails and the admission of relief aid and fuel in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In the last hours before the truce came into effect, the Israeli occupation launched intense airstrikes against the northern, central, and southern Gaza Strip, targeting schools (that housed displaced individuals), hospitals, and houses, and resulting in dozens of casualties.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent confirmed that “no sounds of bombing have been heard in Gaza since seven in the morning.”
However, at 7:50 media sources in Rafah reported that Israeli occupation vehicles have been continuously opening heavy gunfire.
During the 47 days leading up to the ceasefire, 7000 civilians were recorded missing, including more than 4700 children and women.
