[Palestine] Explosions/Remote violence: Shelling/artillery/missile attack

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Israeli artillery strikes reportedly targeted Gaza City neighborhoods on April 5, 2025, following the expiration of a ceasefire's first phase, with casualties reported including at least one fatality. The resumption of hostilities in Gaza represents a significant escalation that could affect regional stability.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether it spreads beyond Gaza to affect broader Middle Eastern trade corridors or energy infrastructure.

Watch points

• Monitor for confirmation from additional news sources and whether hostilities expand beyond Gaza
• Track any disruptions to regional maritime traffic through nearby shipping lanes if conflict escalates
• Watch for broader Middle Eastern diplomatic responses that could affect regional trade patterns
