Israeli attacks in Gaza continue despite ceasefire, including Bureij camp strike
Israeli forces carried out fresh attacks in Gaza on Saturday, including a drone strike on the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza that reportedly killed one person and injured two others. A separate attack injured a person in Gaza City's Tuffah neighbourhood, according to Palestinian media reports. The incidents came as casualties continued to rise despite a ceasefire that has technically been in effect since October.

The person killed in Bureij was identified by the Palestinian Information Center as Muawiya al-Aydi, described as a local municipality worker. The Wafa news agency reported the drone strike and the injury toll in the camp, while also reporting the separate injury in Tuffah. Gaza's Health Ministry said at least two Palestinians had been killed and 11 injured in Israeli attacks on the enclave in the previous 48 hours.
The ministry said 983 people have been killed and 3,122 injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire was declared. Hamas has accused Israel of repeatedly violating the agreement through continued attacks and by shifting the so-called Yellow Line that marks Israeli-controlled areas in Gaza. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said on Friday that Israeli actions showed an unwillingness to implement the ceasefire and were aimed at undermining negotiations.
The latest deaths and injuries underline how fragile the ceasefire remains and how far the situation is from a full halt in violence. More than half of Gaza is under Israeli military control, according to the supplied reporting, which adds to the significance of each new strike. The continuing casualty count also has implications for humanitarian conditions in the enclave, where repeated attacks can further strain already limited medical and civil services.

The ceasefire was declared months ago, but the supplied material says Israeli forces have regularly attacked Gaza since then. The dispute over the Yellow Line has become part of the wider argument over whether the agreement is being observed in practice. In this context, the Bureij strike is not an isolated event but part of a continuing pattern of reported violations and counter-accusations.
What remains unclear is whether there will be any immediate change in the pattern of attacks or any new public response from the parties involved. The supplied reports do not give an Israeli military comment on the Bureij or Tuffah incidents. The main figures to watch are the next casualty updates from Gaza's Health Ministry and any further statements on the ceasefire terms and the Yellow Line.
