Israeli forces continued strikes and demolition operations across Gaza on Friday, killing at least one civilian and adding to the mounting toll despite the ongoing ceasefire agreement.
Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man in Khan Yunis early Friday morning, according to Palestinian medical sources, Al-Jazeera reported.
A medical official at Nasser Medical Complex confirmed that the victim, a displaced civilian, arrived lifeless after being shot by Israeli soldiers on Al-Tina Street, south of the city.
Heavy Israeli bombardment continued overnight across the Gaza Strip. Airstrikes, artillery fire, and widespread demolition operations targeted multiple areas situated behind what is now known as the Yellow Line.

In Rafah, Israeli warplanes launched new strikes on several neighborhoods. In Khan Yunis, Al Jazeera reported intensive raids inside the Yellow Line, accompanied by artillery shelling and heavy gunfire from tanks.
Meanwhile, in central Gaza, Israeli forces shelled the eastern outskirts of the Bureij and Maghazi refugee camps, while military vehicles opened fire toward the camps.
In Gaza City, an Al-Jazeera correspondent described a “massive demolition operation” carried out by Israeli forces inside the Yellow Line east of the city.
These operations have continued despite the October 10 ceasefire announcement, with Israeli forces systematically destroying what remains of civilian structures within the restricted area.
