Fresh Israeli bombardment follows displacement warnings, with attacks hitting multiple neighborhoods and refugee camps in Gaza.
GAZA CITY: Israeli forces carried out a new wave of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Thursday after issuing fresh evacuation orders for several areas, killing at least two Palestinians and injuring several others, according to local medical sources.
The latest attacks come despite a United States-brokered ceasefire that took effect last year, highlighting renewed violence in the Palestinian territory.
Evacuation Warnings Followed by Airstrikes
Residents in several parts of Gaza were ordered to leave their homes before Israeli warplanes launched strikes on multiple locations.
According to reports from Gaza, evacuation notices were issued for four separate areas before heavy bombardment targeted the same locations.
One of the strikes in Gaza City triggered a massive fire, with Civil Defence teams continuing efforts to extinguish the blaze.
Homes and Refugee Camps Hit
Israeli airstrikes reportedly destroyed residential buildings in the Bureij and Jabalia refugee camps, as well as in the Zeitoun and Tal al-Hawa neighborhoods of Gaza City.
Another strike targeting a residential building in the Zeitoun area left several people injured, hospital officials said.
Medical teams and emergency workers rushed to the affected areas as rescue operations continued amid widespread destruction.
Displacement Crisis Deepens
Residents say repeated evacuation orders have intensified the humanitarian crisis, forcing thousands of families to flee with little notice.
Many displaced Palestinians have been left without safe shelter, spending nights in open areas or overcrowded temporary camps after abandoning their homes.
Aid agencies have repeatedly warned that continuous displacement has worsened living conditions, leaving civilians without adequate food, water or medical care.
Mounting Humanitarian Toll
According to Gaza health authorities, at least 73,311 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict began, including more than 1,185 people since the ceasefire announced in October 2025.
The latest escalation has renewed international concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza as calls continue for greater protection of civilians and efforts to prevent further violence.
