Gaza strikes during ceasefire
Israeli forces struck multiple areas of the Gaza Strip on Thursday despite a ceasefire. They opened fire and carried out air and artillery strikes that killed a Palestinian man near the Bani Suhaila roundabout east of Khan Younis and wounded 28-year-old Aya Khader Barbach inside her tent near the Abu Hamid roundabout in central Khan Younis. Witnesses and medical sources reported Israeli attacks across eastern Gaza City, eastern Deir al-Balah and eastern Khan Younis.
“24 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded yesterday when strikes hit tents of displaced people and homes, despite a ceasefire that has been in place since October 10, 2025.”
Earlier strikes on Tuesday and Wednesday killed 23 Palestinians and included demolitions east of Gaza City's al-Tuffah neighborhood. Hospitals and eyewitnesses received bodies of the dead and described sudden shelling on residential areas despite the truce.
Casualty tallies and claims
The attacks occurred despite a U.S.-brokered truce, and reporting shows divergent casualty tallies tied to the pause. Gaza health authorities and multiple reports cited roughly two dozen deaths in recent strikes, with figures of 23–24 reported for single-day incidents. Cumulative tallies since the October truce vary, with one report citing 556 Palestinians killed since the truce took effect and Gaza’s wider wartime toll far higher in local counts.
Israeli sources and some outlets say operations respond to militants firing on troops or aim at specific commanders. Palestinian health and civil defence agencies stress civilian deaths, including children and displaced families hit in tents.
Gaza healthcare and evacuations
Gaza's health system and medical evacuations have been severely affected. Al Jazeera reported that Israel briefly suspended, then resumed, coordination of medical evacuations. An arrangement to move 50 patients a day has been implemented at about 30 patients this week, a pace Mahmoud said would take at least three years to evacuate roughly 20,000 people requiring treatment abroad.
“An arrangement called for evacuating 50 patients a day (each with two family members); this week only about 30 patients were transferred, a rate that Mahmoud said would take ‘at least three years’ to move the roughly 20,000 people who need treatment abroad.”
The Palestinian Ministry of Health and local hospitals say many facilities are out of service and medical personnel have been killed. Hospitals continued to receive bodies from strikes and appealed for mediators and aid deliveries to restart. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies condemned the death of an on-duty paramedic in southern bombardment.
Truce breaches and strikes
Both sides accuse the other of breaching the truce, but sources diverge on intent and future plans. Israeli media and military officials say Israel is preparing for possible renewed fighting as Hamas rebuilds sites and resumes weapons production.
The Shin Bet warned political leaders that Hamas is regaining strength, and Israeli officials and some outlets frame operations as efforts to prevent the reconstitution of militant capabilities. Palestinian agencies, eyewitnesses and West Asian outlets report Israeli strikes that killed civilians, demolished buildings, and trapped residents near the yellow line, stressing the humanitarian cost of Israel’s operations even as international mediators try to implement paused elements of the agreement.
