Israel bombed Gaza overnight and killed at least 104 Palestinians, including 46 children, in strikes it launched despite a declared ceasefire.

Sources report Israel hit homes, school shelters, tents for displaced families, a mosque, and locations near a hospital.

These attacks left hospitals overwhelmed and people buried under rubble.

Multiple outlets and health authorities say these were the deadliest Israeli strikes since the truce began in early October.

They describe the attacks as massacres carried out while a ceasefire was supposed to be in effect.

Israel says it launched the strikes after an Israeli soldier was killed in Rafah and amid disputes over hostage remains.

Hamas denied involvement and reaffirmed the ceasefire.

Antiwar reports that Israel itself was unsure whether Hamas leadership authorized the Rafah attack, even as it claimed to hit 30 “terror commanders.”

Multiple outlets report the U.S. was looped in or coordinated before the bombings.

Antiwar adds that Washington found no evidence that Hamas violated the truce even as U.S. officials defended Israel’s response.

Despite this, Israeli leaders vowed more force.

Trump and Vance publicly justified Israel’s retaliation while saying they want the ceasefire to hold.

After the bombings, Israel announced the ceasefire was reinstated.

However, reports detail continuing strikes and a pattern of prior Israeli violations.

Mainstream outlets noted that mediators insisted the truce remained intact even as casualties mounted.

Alternative outlets tallied dozens to over a hundred Israeli breaches since October 11.

Some Western outlets also report that Israel continued to hit sites and leaders even after saying the ceasefire was re-applied.

This underscores that Israeli attacks did not stop in practice.

The human toll is brutal: hospitals are overwhelmed, rescuers are still pulling bodies from rubble, and strikes hit school shelters, refugee camps, tents for displaced people, a mosque, and areas near Al-Shifa hospital.

Health officials say at least 211 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes since the ceasefire began, with hundreds more wounded, most of them women and children.

The UN says more than 600,000 Palestinians have been forced to move around Gaza during the truce period.

Children’s groups condemn Israel’s killing of children and demand adherence to the ceasefire.

Several sources describe Israel’s conduct as part of a broader Gaza genocide against Palestinians.

The UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, called it a “live-streamed atrocity” and “genocide.”

5Pillars reports that Hamas accused Israel of attempting genocidal violence.

Western mainstream outlets largely avoid the genocide label but note international condemnation and accusations of impunity.

West Asian and alternative outlets emphasize systematic killing and repeated Israeli breaches.

Meanwhile, U.S. and European officials publicly call for the truce to hold even as Israel continues bombing.

Some sources equate this posture with complicity.
