Israeli drone chases and kills 70-year-old Palestinian woman and son
Just in the past 30 minutes, there was a confirmed attack by an Israeli quadcopter that chased a 70-year-old woman and her son, 25, as they walked in an area about 1km (half a mile) away from the “yellow line” – deep in Gaza City.
They were hunted by the drone that fired and killed both of them. They were left there to bleed to death, and nobody from the surrounding area was able to get to them because the quadcopter was still hovering.
This is just one of many violations throughout the day and throughout the past 50 days since the truce came into effect.
Many people in most of these areas do not see the yellow line because it’s not clear. It’s not visible. There are no clear markings or signage to show this is the ceasefire demarcation that is a restricted and dangerous area.

Overall, since the war began in October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed 70,354 Palestinians and wounded 171,030.
Palestinians flee eastern Gaza City as Israeli forces launch attack
By Hani Mahmoud
Violations of the ceasefire are becoming the daily norm for many Palestinians here.
In the past couple of hours, heavy machine-gun fire and the dense presence of drones could be heard where we are broadcasting from.
The confirmation we have from a source on the ground is that the Israeli military pushed its tanks and armoured vehicles, along with bulldozers, deeper into the western areas of Gaza City. That’s about 300 to 500 metres (330-550 yards) beyond the original “yellow line”, right at the edge of Salah al-Din Street.
That means more areas are under Israeli military control, and it has started to set up these sand barriers, isolating the entire eastern part of Gaza City. People are fleeing from that area into the central part of the city.
