Israeli forces persist with air strikes, artillery shelling, and naval bombardments on Gaza, despite a declared ceasefire on October 11. The humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank remains dire amid ongoing military actions.
Over the past two days, two additional individuals have been reported injured, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Israeli army-affiliated militias have advanced east of Gaza City, with reports of heavy gunfire and the abduction of a Palestinian police member. Israeli warplanes targeted locations east of the Tuffah neighborhood near Gaza City, and the Israeli navy engaged in shelling near the coast, as per reports from Palestinian news agency Wafa.
The Rafah border crossing remains closed following its earlier closure during Israeli operations against Iran. Although it briefly reopened last month, allowing limited exit for Palestinians requiring urgent medical assistance, many remain unable to travel.

The Karem Abu Salem crossing, also known as Kerem Shalom, is partially open under strict conditions, permitting only the entry of humanitarian aid. Gaza's population, exceeding two million, remains largely dependent on such assistance due to displacement and resource shortages.
Since the October ceasefire, the Palestinian Health Ministry reports that 640 individuals have been killed and 1,700 wounded in Gaza. Cumulatively, since October 2023, casualties include 72,123 deaths and 171,805 injuries.
In the West Bank, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society reports treating individuals injured by live fire near the Karmei Tzur settlement and others assaulted by settlers in the Ras al-Ahmar area. Israeli forces have conducted raids in Qaffin and Kafr al-Labad, with additional reports of assaults near Azmut. Palestinian casualties in the West Bank since October 2023, as per United Nations data, include 1,094 deaths due to military and settler violence.
