Israel bombs southern Gaza despite ceasefire
Powerful explosions have been heard near the "yellow line" in the Khan Yunis area.
BarcelonaIsraeli military tanks bombarded the Sheikh Nasser area near Khan Yunis in southern Gaza early Thursday morning, despite the ceasefire. "Powerful explosions were heard throughout the area," local sources told Efe news agency. So far, no casualties have been reported from these attacks.
The Sheikh Nasser area is located next to the so-called "yellow line," the point to which Israeli troops have withdrawn within Gaza as part of the ceasefire agreement and to which the Gaza population is prohibited from approaching.
The incident comes just days after a temporary breach of the ceasefire last Sunday, when Israel accused Hamas of attacking its army and bombed several positions in the Strip. The attacks left around 50 dead, but a few hours later both sides confirmed that the ceasefire was back in effect. Thursday's renewed attacks further highlight the fragility of the agreement signed in Egypt with Donald Trump's mediation, which, in theory, ended the bombings.
