Israeli army demolishes buildings across Gaza as ceasefire violations continue
The Israeli army has demolished buildings and civilian structures in northern and southern Gaza, as artillery shelling and heavy gunfire were reported in multiple areas, according to local sources and witnesses.
The demolitions occurred on Tuesday amid what continuing Israeli violations of the ceasefire that took effect on October 10, 2025.
According to local sources and witnesses, Israeli forces carried out three large-scale demolition operations targeting remaining homes and structures northeast of the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
The operations coincided with heavy gunfire from Israeli military vehicles. Witnesses also reported Israeli artillery shelling northwest of the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.
In northern Gaza, witnesses said they heard a massive explosion caused by an Israeli demolition operation near the al-Sanafour junction in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Israeli military vehicles also opened heavy fire east of the al-Tuffah and Shujaiya neighborhoods in the city, while residents reported additional explosions in areas under Israeli control.
The latest demolitions come as Israeli forces have expanded their control over parts of the Gaza Strip in recent weeks.
According to local accounts, Israeli troops have moved concrete barriers westward along the so-called "Yellow Line," widening the restricted zone and forcing additional Palestinian residents to flee.
Israeli forces remain deployed along the zone, a security buffer inside the Gaza Strip that prevents Palestinians from accessing nearby areas.
Both the ceasefire and the zone were envisioned as part of a United States-proposed plan to supposedly end the war of genocide that the Israeli regime had begun against Gaza in October 2023.
The plan, however, stopped far short of securing necessary commitments from the regime, which is currently reported to be controlling more than 70 percent of the Palestinian territory.
According to Gaza's health ministry, Israeli ceasefire violations since truce took effect have killed 1,045 Palestinians and injured 3,380 others, most of them women and children.
The ministry also said that since October 8, 2023, when the regime began the genocide, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 173,000 others wounded across the coastal sliver, while about 90 percent of the territory's civilian infrastructure has been destroyed.
