Israel Continues Airstrikes Killing Over 240 Palestinians Despite Ceasefire in Gaza

Israel continued airstrikes and demolitions across Gaza despite a declared ceasefire, killing over 240 Palestinians after the truce took effect.

“The Israeli army recently carried out airstrikes and demolitions in several Gaza Strip locations, including east of Khan Younis, Gaza City, and Rafah, causing significant damage to UNRWA buildings”

Al-Jazeera Net

Azat TV reported that entire neighborhoods in Rafah were devastated.

Al-Jazeera Net detailed Israeli army strikes in Khan Younis, Gaza City, and Rafah, causing heavy damage to UNRWA facilities.

CHAT News Today stated that Gaza hospitals received bodies and injured individuals from ongoing Israeli strikes despite the ceasefire.

Local Western outlets simultaneously reported a soaring overall death toll of over 68,000 to 69,000 Palestinians, rising as bodies were recovered during the ceasefire period.

Daily Sabah added that Israeli attacks have killed nearly 69,000 people, mostly women and children, underscoring the scale of civilian harm even under a truce.

The truce depends on the exchange of bodies, which continued even as Israel maintained its bombing campaign.

Daily Sabah reports that Hamas released the remains of 23 hostages, while five are still being held.

Al-Jazeera Net

Israel returned 300 Palestinian bodies in exchange.

The Middle East Monitor states that the Red Cross facilitated the transfer of 15 Palestinian bodies to Nasser Hospital on November 8.

This transfer highlights a 15-for-1 exchange formula, also noted by the South China Morning Post and EverythingGP.

Gaza’s severely damaged forensic facilities leave families without answers about their loved ones.

ETV Bharat reports that only 89 bodies have been identified so far.

The Middle East Monitor adds that many of the returned bodies show signs of mistreatment and arrived without identification.

Obligations to expand aid deliveries under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire are being ignored.

“Posted By free, fresh, fair Azat TV Quick Read The ink on the latest ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is barely dry, yet the sound of explosions still echoes across Gaza”

Daily Sabah reports that Israel allowed only 37,000 of over 200,000 metric tons of aid into Gaza despite the truce’s requirement.

ETV Bharat similarly states that only a small portion of the promised 200,000 metric tons arrived.

Al-Jazeera Net reports that Israel continued bombing and demolishing sites, damaging UNRWA facilities.

Azat TV warns about roughly 70,000 tonnes of unexploded ordnance left by Israeli bombings that threaten families returning to shattered neighborhoods.

Local Western and Asian tallies show the death toll continues to rise during the ceasefire as more bodies are recovered from the rubble.

While Israel bombed Gaza during the ceasefire, Israeli settlers intensified attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

CHAT News Today reports more than 260 settler attacks in October—the highest since 2006—targeting farmers, journalists, medics, and activists.

BBC

WHEC and EverythingGP also report Israeli settlers attacking Palestinian civilians during the olive harvest and causing injuries.

The New Indian Express confirms that such settler attacks persisted despite the truce.

This surge in settler assaults coincided with Israel’s continued airstrikes in Gaza, showing the ceasefire did not deliver safety for Palestinians.

Several sources highlight systemic harm to Palestinians that many describe as genocide.

“Since the ceasefire on October 10, Palestinian militants have returned the remains of 23 hostages, including Rudaeff's body, with five hostages still held in Gaza”

Business Standard

Evrim Ağacı explicitly references 'accusations of genocide denied by Israel.'

Business Standard

Middle East Monitor and Daily Sabah stress that Israeli attacks have killed around 69,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, and caused more than 170,000 injuries.

This data is often cited as evidence of genocidal intent and impact.

In contrast, Local Western coverage tends to emphasize that the ceasefire is 'fragile' but 'holding' and focuses on procedural exchanges and identifications.

Middle East Monitor also uniquely reports many returned Palestinian bodies showing 'signs of abuse' and cites reports of about 1,500 bodies at Israel’s Sde Teiman base.

These claims are absent from Local Western narratives.
