Despite Ceasefire, Israeli Attacks on Gaza Continue
PALESTINE – Despite a ceasefire being in effect since October 10, 2025, Israeli attacks on Gaza continue, with the latest attacks reported early Wednesday Feb. 25, which killed at least 1 Palestinian and injured several others.
The body of the victim and those injured arrived at Nasser Hospital following an Israeli drone strike targeting a group of civilians in the Bir 19 area of the Mawasi district of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, according to local sources.
In the northern part of the strip, medical sources reported that a Palestinian was wounded by Israeli army fire near a school sheltering displaced persons in Jabalia refugee camp.
Local sources also said that an Israeli fighter jet carried out at least one airstrike east of the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, within areas where the army is deployed. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Witnesses also reported Israeli artillery shelling and gunfire within army-controlled zones in northern Gaza.
In central Gaza, Israeli artillery shelling targeted areas east of the Bureij refugee camp, but no casualties were reported.
Israel launched a relentless offensive on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 8, 2023, killing more than 72,000 people, mostly women and children, and injuring over 171,000 others.
Israeli forces have committed hundreds of violations through shelling and gunfire, killing at least 615 people and injuring over 1,600 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Israeli Forces Raid Refugee Camp
Israeli forces raided Balata refugee camp east of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank early Wednesday and surrounded a home there, according to local sources.
Witnesses said that Israeli undercover agents entered the camp before military reinforcements arrived from the Huwwara checkpoint and Jerusalem Street.
Residents said the army flew drones over the camp as heavy gunfire and explosions erupted. They added that blasts were caused by detonations at the entrances to homes during the raid.
Israeli forces imposed a siege on a house inside the camp, witnesses said, adding that the identities of those targeted and whether the operation resulted in arrests or injuries were not immediately clear.

As of yet, the Israeli military has not issued a statement on the operation.
Israeli forces were seen leaving Nablus earlier Wednesday in a social media video after arresting at least one Palestinian man on Al-Ittihad Street.
In the same video, Israeli forces were seen detaining a young man who was on crutches after suffering fractures several days earlier.
The Israeli military and settlers have intensified attacks across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, involving killings, arrests, property damage, home demolitions, displacement, and settlement expansion.
Since Oct. 2023, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,117 Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, wounded about 11,500 others, and arrested around 22,000, according to Palestinian figures.
The international community and the United Nations consider the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to be occupied Palestinian territory and regard Israeli settlements there as illegal under international law.
