Israeli military forces conducted multiple strikes across the Gaza Strip overnight into September 29, according to Palestinian media sources, with incidents reported in Deir al-Balah, Gaza City, and surrounding areas [1][2].
According to reports from Gaza-based media channels, Israeli artillery targeted the city of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, while unmanned aerial vehicles struck residential buildings in multiple locations [2][3]. One report indicated three drone strikes were conducted on a residential apartment in the Al-Batoul building near a café in the Al-Nasser neighborhood of western Gaza City, resulting in a fire within the unit [2][3]. Sources reported casualties from the strikes, with wounded individuals transported for medical treatment [2][3].
Additional drone strikes targeted a residential apartment opposite the O2 area in the Al-Nasser neighborhood of Gaza City, and multiple locations in central Gaza, particularly near the Al-Ramla area, according to the reports [2][3].
Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Minister of Security issued a joint statement announcing the death of a Hamas commander identified as ‘Az-Zayd al-Bik, reportedly killed in an operation targeting the Northern Gaza Brigade [1].
In Judea and Samaria, reports indicated a large-scale attack by Israeli residents targeted the town of Jaloude south of Nablus from multiple directions [2][3]. Netanyahu condemned violent incidents in the region, emphasizing that perpetrators do not represent Israeli society and calling for strict law enforcement [4].
The incidents occurred as Israeli military operations continue in the Gaza Strip following months of conflict. The Gaza Strip has faced sustained military pressure, with reports of ongoing strikes on civilian infrastructure and populated areas [1].
Qatari Foreign Ministry officials rejected Israeli statements regarding the annexation of areas in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, calling on the international community to pressure Israel on the matter [1].
These operations reflect the broader security situation in the region, where Israeli military actions and Palestinian armed groups remain in a state of sustained tension. The specific targeting of residential areas has drawn international concern regarding civilian casualties and adherence to international humanitarian law [1].
