Israeli forces pressed ahead with military operations across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, engaging in artillery shelling, building demolitions, and intense gunfire despite an existing ceasefire agreement. The ongoing operations resulted in the deaths of four Palestinians in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a blacksmith workshop in the southwestern part of Gaza City.

According to Almayadeen correspondents, an Israeli drone fired three missiles at the workshop, located near the Al-Haddad Company on Al-Sinaโ€™a Street, killing four individuals at the scene. The identities of the victims were not immediately disclosed. This latest attack is part of Israel's continued military actions throughout the Gaza Strip.

Witnesses reported that Israeli forces destroyed residential buildings and civilian facilities in the southern area of Khan Yunis. Simultaneously, tanks, drones, and naval vessels attacked other parts of the city. In the Qizan al-Najjar area, south of Khan Yunis, Israeli forces carried out two building demolition operations. Further attacks targeted the eastern part of the city, with Israeli drones dropping explosives near Qizan Rashwan while tanks intensely shelled the surrounding neighborhoods. Israeli naval vessels also fired along the coast of Khan Yunis, and artillery strikes hit the western area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

In central Gaza, Israeli artillery shelled areas east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp, continuing repeated attacks on the eastern side of the camp in recent weeks.
