Gaza residents report blasts as Israeli forces raze homes

Al Jazeera journalists on the ground say blasts have echoed through Gaza since the early hours, even though the ceasefire is supposedly in effect.

Most of the strikes hit zones on the far side of the yellow demarcation line, territory Israel’s military occupies and has largely sealed off from the rest of the enclave.

Residents living near the line told Al Jazeera that the noise has barely stopped. Families say they are hearing repeated blasts and drones overhead, long after the ceasefire came into force.

People in the area also report seeing Israeli tanks and bulldozers levelling homes inside these zones, wiping out what remains of residential streets and making any Palestinian return even harder.
