Israeli forces launched air and artillery attacks across multiple parts of the Gaza Strip early Saturday, according to local sources, marking the latest reported violations of a cease-fire in effect since October 2025.

Local sources told Anadolu Agency (AA) that Israeli artillery targeted eastern parts of Gaza City, areas that fall under Israeli control, according to the cease-fire arrangement.

An Israeli fighter jet also struck a location in the northern Gaza Strip, while a military helicopter opened fire toward eastern areas of the Jabalia town, the sources said.

In southern Gaza, Israeli warplanes launched an airstrike on the city of Rafah, as Israeli military vehicles fired toward areas north of the city, which remains under full Israeli control.

The Israeli army has killed more than 71,400 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 171,000 in a brutal offensive since October 2023 that has left the enclave in ruins.

Despite the ceasefire, the Israeli army has continued attacks, killing 424 Palestinians and wounding 1,189, according to the Health Ministry.
