[Palestine] Explosions/Remote violence: Remote explosive/landmine/IED

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) reportedly targeted an Israeli Merkava tank with an improvised explosive device in Gaza's Shujaiyya neighborhood on April 9, 2025, following the expiration of a ceasefire's first phase. Casualties remain unknown.

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 signals a broader resumption of hostilities in Gaza.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional militant activity or Israeli military responses that could indicate a wider breakdown of ceasefire arrangements
• Track any escalation beyond localized incidents that might affect regional shipping lanes or energy infrastructure in the Eastern Mediterranean
