Israel’s military launched a series of raids in Gaza at dawn on Monday, in the latest violation of the ceasefire by Israeli forces.

Attacks were reported in the southern city of Rafah and areas east of Khan Younis, according to Al Araby Al Jadeed, the Arabic-language sister site of The New Arab, as Israeli forces carried out shelling and deliberate demolition operations in areas under their control inside the so-called “yellow line”.

Israeli vehicles were also reported to be operating inside Jabalia refugee camp, north of Gaza City, amid artillery shelling.

Israel has violated the 10 October ceasefire hundreds of times, killing and injuring more than 1,500 Palestinians.

This comes a day after six Palestinian detainees from Gaza were released from Israeli detention.

The men, who had been detained for six months, were transferred by the Red Cross to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah on Sunday for medical treatment.

Israel freed about 1,700 detainees from Gaza on 13 October following the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. Many showed signs of torture and abuse endured during detention. The medical conditions of the detainees are not known.
