PALESTINE – Despite claims of reduced attacks on Gaza, Israeli forces’ bombardment of Gaza Strip continues, with at least 19 Palestinians killed and others injured so far on Sunday.
Four Palestinians were killed while waiting for aid near the US-Israeli distribution hub in the Shakoush area northwest of Rafah.
Since May 27, Israel has conducted aid distribution through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, rejected by the UN, with Palestinians referring to the sites as “death traps.”
Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted aid recipients, leaving thousands killed or wounded.
Additional casualties were reported after Israeli drones dropped explosives on displaced persons’ tents east of Asda, north of Khan Younis.
Israeli artillery also shelled central Khan Younis, while airstrikes targeted northern parts of the city.
One Palestinian was killed, while others were wounded after Israeli strikes hit the upper floors of several residential buildings on Al-Thalathini Street in the Sabra neighborhood.
In central Gaza, one Palestinian was killed and others injured while waiting for aid near the Netzarim distribution hub.
Israeli forces also shelled Al-Azhar University in the same area. Airstrikes targeted the eastern Al-Maghazi camp, and artillery fire hit the northern Al-Bureij camp.
Israeli military and media reports indicated political leadership had ordered the cessation of Gaza City occupation and “reduction of military activity in the Strip to defensive operations only.”
Trump’s 20-point plan, announced on Sept. 29, includes freeing Israeli captives, halting hostilities, and disarming Hamas.
Israel believes that 48 Israeli prisoners are held in Gaza, including 20 alive, while approximately 11,100 Palestinians remain in Israeli jails, suffering torture, starvation, and medical neglect, with many reported dead.
