<div class="field field-field-text"><p><a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israeli</a> forces shelled areas across the Gaza Strip on Friday, despite a ceasefire taking effect following the approval of a deal by both Israel and Hamas to "end the war."</p>
<p>The truce officially began in the early hours of Friday, after receiving final approval from the Israeli government.</p>
<p>However, air strikes, artillery fire, and gunshots were reported in Gaza City and Khan Younis on Friday morning. There were no immediate reports of injuries.</p>
<p>As of Friday morning, Israeli tanks also remained positioned along al-Rashid Road, blocking the return of displaced people from southern Gaza to the north.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the agreement, troops are required to withdraw from the road and allow displaced residents to return within 24 hours.</p>
