GAZA, Aug. 17 (YPA) – Several Palestinians were injured overnight and early Monday as Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of strikes across the Gaza Strip, violating the ceasefire agreement in place since last October, Palestinian sources reported.

According to Palestinian sources, a child was wounded when Israeli military vehicles opened fire on displaced persons’ tents in the Bir 19 area of Mawasi Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

In eastern Gaza City, emergency services reported multiple civilian casualties following Israeli artillery shelling near the Al-Sanafour intersection in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood.
