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

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Israeli forces reportedly conducted shelling operations in Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip on April 9, 2025, targeting areas including a school sheltering internally displaced persons and the Al Amoura neighborhood. The incident allegedly followed the expiration of a ceasefire's first phase, though casualty details remain unconfirmed.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. Gaza's economy has been severely degraded since October 2023, with minimal commercial activity or trade flows that would affect broader supply chains. Second-order effects would depend on whether this signals a broader escalation that could impact regional shipping lanes or energy infrastructure.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation of the incident and any broader resumption of hostilities that could affect regional shipping
• Track potential impacts on Red Sea shipping routes if the situation escalates beyond Gaza
