A series of continuous attacks in the early morning and throughout the night (Sunday) took place in areas east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, Gaza reported. There were also bombs north of Khan Yunis, and mushrooms of smoke rose from the scene. One of the strikes damaged a house belonging to the Randour family, although it was not disclosed whether it was the family of Ahmed Randour, commander of the northern brigade of Hamas' military-terrorist wing, who was recently assassinated. Deaths and injuries were reported in this attack.

There were also attacks east of Rafah, where a house was bombed and fatalities were reported. Destruction was evident at the site of the bombing, and curious residents were seen visiting the ruins of the damaged house. Other locations in the central and northern Gaza Strip were targets for attacks and artillery fire.
Fighter jets reportedly continued to bomb this morning northeast of Jabaliya and neighborhoods in Gaza City and its environs. There were also reports of explosions from "fighting on the ground in the northern Gaza Strip." In the Tufah neighborhood, a mosque was destroyed in bombings, and in the Zeitun neighborhood, six homes belonging to two families were reportedly damaged. Civil defense teams and Palestinian rescue forces arrived this morning at the destroyed residential compound in the Shejaiya neighborhood after it was bombed from the air on Saturday. The bombing killed the commander of Hamas' Sajaiya Battalion, Wisam Farhat. "We demand the introduction of special tools and equipment that will be used to rescue the casualties who are under the rubble," said a civil defence spokesman in Gaza.
The military appealed to Gaza residents living in the Khan Yunis area and called on them to evacuate to safe areas. "The IDF has renewed its activity against Hamas and the other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip," wrote IDF spokesman Avichai Edri in Arabic, reminding residents that they should use the published "map of areas" that divides the Gaza Strip into cells and neighborhoods to help them understand where they need to evacuate for their safety.
Hospitals in Gaza reported a shortage of medical equipment to perform surgeries. Today, too, the Hamas Health Ministry in Gaza claimed that "no diesel fuel entered hospitals during the hudna." It was also reported that "water wells in the northern Gaza Strip were destroyed."
