A Palestinian security source cited by Al-Jazeera said Israeli aircraft carried out two strikes after midnight targeting Beit Lahia and Jabaliya refugee camp.

The source also reported Israeli attacks on tents sheltering displaced Palestinians and ambulances.

Elsewhere, Israeli artillery shelled areas east of Gaza City, while Israeli naval vessels opened heavy fire off Khan Yunis and toward areas in the central Gaza Strip, according to WAFA.

In southern Gaza, several Palestinians were wounded when an Israeli drone struck Khan Yunis refugee camp, according to ambulance and emergency services.

The latest attacks came amid continuing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10, 2025.

As of Wednesday, Gaza’s Health Ministry said 1,358 Palestinians had been killed and 4,541 wounded in Israeli attacks since the agreement took effect.

UN Warns Essential Supplies Are Running Low

The latest attacks coincide with renewed UN warnings over deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said stocks of basic supplies were insufficient because funding shortages and continuing restrictions were preventing humanitarian organizations from adequately replenishing them.

He also warned that Israeli airstrikes and other attacks were continuing to hit populated areas, endangering civilians and damaging property.

Dujarric cited an Israeli strike on a building in Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza on Tuesday.

The area included two UN-affiliated schools being used as temporary shelters for displaced Palestinians and a UN-supported bakery.

According to the UN, approximately 100 families lost their shelter and belongings as a result of the attack.

Dujarric reiterated that civilians and civilian infrastructure, including shelters and humanitarian facilities, must be protected.
