The Gaza Government Media Office affirmed that 9 residential buildings were completely destroyed, and more than 1,500 housing units were damaged, of which 16 were completely destroyed.

Earlier Sunday evening, a ceasefire between the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement and zionist occupation regime has come into effect after three days of zionist aggression.

In a press conference held in Tehran, the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Ziyad Al-Nakhala, had confirmed the truce, but he added that it too "reserves the right to respond" to any aggression.

Al-Nakhala said the ceasefire deal "contains Egypt's commitment to work towards the release of two prisoners".

The pair were named as Bassam al-Saadi, a senior figure in the group's political wing who was recently arrested in the occupied West Bank, and the hunger striker Khalil Awawdeh. (ILKHA)
