Gaza airstrike casualties
On November 22, 2025, Israeli forces carried out airstrikes across Gaza that Gaza health authorities and civil defence agencies say killed at least 24 Palestinians and wounded dozens, many of them children. Israeli officials said the strikes eliminated five senior Hamas members and framed the operation as a response to gunfire at Israeli troops during the ceasefire.
“On November 22, 2025 Israel carried out airstrikes against Hamas in Gaza, in what officials described as a fresh test of the ceasefire that began on October 10. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said five senior Hamas members were killed; Gaza health authorities reported at least 24 people dead and 54 wounded in Saturday’s strikes, many of them children.”
Reported specific strikes included a vehicle hit in Gaza City's Rimal neighbourhood that killed 11 and wounded more than 20. Separate strikes on homes near Al‑Awda Hospital, in Nuseirat camp and in Deir al‑Balah together killed and wounded multiple civilians.
Ceasefire violations in Gaza
Gaza authorities and local agencies say the strikes are part of repeated Israeli breaches of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. The Gaza Government Media Office and Gaza Civil Defense reported dozens of violations and heavy civilian tolls since the truce began on October 10.
One tally said 497 violations had resulted in 342 deaths and 875 wounded. They described strikes that hit homes, vehicles and displacement sites, calling the pattern a 'flagrant breach' of international humanitarian law and 'collective punishment.'
Reactions to Israeli airstrikes
Israel described the airstrikes as retaliatory operations after reported attacks on its forces and said five senior Hamas members were killed. Western mainstream outlets repeated the military's justification and emphasized the deaths of senior militants. Sources in Gaza and regional media characterized the strikes as violations of the ceasefire that mainly harmed civilians and caused further displacement and damage to essential services.
“The military said the strikes, carried out after gunfire at Israeli troops, killed five senior Hamas members.”
U.S. Gaza stabilization plan
The strikes take place amid intense international diplomacy, as the U.N. Security Council adopted a U.S.-authored blueprint that envisions an international stabilization force and a transitional authority overseen by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The plan, described in various outlets as a path to stabilise Gaza, a 'Board of Peace' and part of a U.S. peace blueprint, is prompting criticism and concern about implementation as ceasefire breaches continue.
Media coverage and casualties
Coverage differs sharply by source type: Western mainstream outlets typically foreground Israeli military statements and immediate casualty counts, West Asian sources centre Gaza agencies' charges of systematic ceasefire breaches and civilian suffering, and Western alternative outlets emphasise political fallout, hostages' return and long-term governance concerns.
“The military said the strikes, carried out after gunfire at Israeli troops, killed five senior Hamas members. Gaza health officials reported at least 24 people killed and 54 wounded, including children.”
Casualty totals for the same day vary across reports (AP/The Hindu/Politico/Newsweek: 'at least 24'; Middle East Monitor: 'at least 21'; Gaza Civil Defense/TRT: 'at least 22'), underscoring discrepancies in on-the-ground tallies and the contested narratives each source highlights.
