Renewed Gaza Conflict Escalation
Israel shelled and shot Palestinians in Gaza for a third straight round of attacks, killing at least two to three people and damaging the already fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Cyprus Mail, citing WAFA, reports the Israeli military continued attacks on the Gaza Strip for a third consecutive day, resulting in the deaths of three Palestinians. Folha de S.Paulo says Israeli airstrikes on the third consecutive night killed two Palestinians.
“The Israeli military continued attacks on the Gaza Strip for a third consecutive day, resulting in the deaths of three Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Authority’s news agency WAFA.”
Gaza health officials also reported 104 Palestinians killed in bombardments that Israel carried out as retaliation for the killing of an Israeli soldier. Israel insists it remains committed to the ceasefire, while Hamas denies responsibility for the soldier’s death.
Asian outlet The Express Tribune states Israeli airstrikes killed over 100 Palestinians, including many women and children, violating a fragile ceasefire. The report underscores that Israel’s actions are tearing through the truce despite public claims of commitment.
Casualties and Conflict in Gaza
Gaza health officials recorded 104 Palestinians killed in a single day of Israeli bombardment. West Asian outlet Evrim Ağacı specified that on October 28 alone, 104 Palestinians, including 46 children and 20 women, were killed—the deadliest day since the ceasefire began. Al-Jazeera Net reports more than 68,000 Palestinians killed and 170,000 injured since October 7, 2023.
The same source explicitly accuses Israel, supported by the U.S., of committing genocide despite the ceasefire. Folha de S.Paulo and Cyprus Mail also reference over 100 killed by Israeli strikes tied to Israel’s claimed retaliation for a soldier’s death. These reports underscore that the ceasefire is being undermined on the ground while Israel continues to kill civilians.
Ceasefire Terms and Exchanges
Behind the shattered ceasefire are contested terms and exchanges. Folha de S.Paulo says Israel returned 30 Palestinian bodies in exchange for two Israeli hostages' remains. It also reports that Hamas released all living hostages in return for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, with disputes over timely delivery.
“Israel returned 30 Palestinian bodies in exchange for two Israeli hostages' remains.”
Al-Jazeera Net notes that 30 bodies of Palestinian prisoners were returned to Gaza. By contrast, Evrim Ağacı reports Israel has returned 195 Palestinian bodies in exchange for 13 Israeli and two foreign hostages’ remains. Evrim Ağacı adds that all living hostages were released by October 13, 2025 under a truce facilitated by Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey.
The Express Tribune adds that Hamas returned two Israeli bodies while Israel accuses Hamas of delaying remaining remains. It describes the truce as including Israel halting its offensive, which is directly at odds with ongoing Israeli strikes.
Gaza Conflict and Ceasefire Impact
Israeli forces are not just killing; they are also destroying Gaza’s infrastructure under the supposed truce. Al-Jazeera Net documents ongoing Israeli military operations east of Khan Younis and Gaza City, including heavy shelling, airstrikes, and demolition of key infrastructure like the electricity company building in Abasan. Homes in Al-Shujaiya, Al-Tuffah, and Khan Younis are being demolished and booby-trapped.
Cyprus Mail and Folha de S.Paulo corroborate continued Israeli strikes for a third straight period despite the ceasefire. Al-Jazeera Net adds that the WHO and UN warn of acute health and aid shortfalls.
Folha details banks reopening but starved of cash because Israel restricts cash transfers, pushing people into barter for essentials. This is the on-the-ground reality many West Asian outlets describe as part of a U.S.-backed Gaza genocide even during a ceasefire.
Ceasefire Perspectives and Challenges
Politically, media outlets differ on who is leading the ceasefire and what the next steps will be. Cyprus Mail and Folha de S.Paulo emphasize a U.S.-brokered truce while pointing out unresolved issues such as the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces. Express Tribune states that U.S. efforts are "led by President Trump" and that the ceasefire envisions Israel halting its offensive.
“Despite these incidents, Israel maintains its commitment to the truce.”
This comes even as most of Gaza’s population has been displaced and residents fear a renewed conflict. Evrim Ağacı reports that Trump publicly affirmed the ceasefire’s stability while warning Israel to respond if attacked. It also notes that more than 200 Palestinians have died after the ceasefire was declared.
These narratives reveal Israel’s claim of commitment to peace while continuing actions that kill and displace Palestinians. They also expose a gap between diplomatic statements and the ongoing reality of Israeli bombardment and demolition in Gaza.
