Ambulance and civil defence crews rushed to the scene and transported several wounded people to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city.Abu Amra reported that the Israeli army carried out two demolition operations in Deir el-Balah, with explosions heard from a distance as the targeted houses collapsed into rubble.Israeli forces also pushed into the eastern part of the city and struck multiple homes there, he said, with troops remaining positioned close to civilian areas along the city’s eastern perimeter.Israeli strikes and home demolitions continued elsewhere in the enclave, including in the southern city of Khan Younis. In eastern Khan Younis, Israeli forces shelled several civilian areas, targeting displaced Palestinians’ camps sitting across from the military-controlled area along the “Yellow Line”.Israeli forces have advanced further into the east of Gaza City, expanding the “Yellow Line” towards more civilian areas and demolishing property and infrastructure inside the zone.
