Israeli forces have launched a broad air campaign across the Gaza Strip moments after temporary Gaza truce expired, Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Khan Yunis.

He said a residential building has been completely destroyed in the Jabalia refugee camp in the north.

In central Gaza, a number of civilians were wounded at the al-Maghazi area while reports indicate a house has been completely destroyed in Rafah, in the south, where four Palestinians were reported killed, Al Jazeera reports.

A residential building close to a hospital in the south has also been hit by Israeli drones.

“Right now, sounds of Israeli explosions can be heard in the south, an area that the Israeli authorities had recommended as safe for civilians to flee,” Abu Azzoum told the media outlet.
