Israeli Attacks Kill 1,005 Palestinians in Gaza Since October Ceasefire

More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since a US-brokered October “ceasefire” between Hamas and Israel was agreed, with the Palestinian Health Ministry saying Israeli attacks have killed 1,005 Palestinians since the agreement was reached.

The Boston Globe, citing the Gaza Health Ministry, reported that Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip have killed 1,005 Palestinians since a ceasefire was reached between Israel and the militant group Hamas last October, and said the most recent deaths were recorded after a series of Israeli drone strikes in the past few days on towns and refugee camps in central Gaza and Gaza City.

Medical Aid for Palestinians said Gaza death toll reaches 1,000 since “ceasefire” as humanitarian siege continues and hospitals struggle to function, and warned that Palestinians continue to be killed, starved and driven into ever-shrinking pockets of land.

MAP said that since the “ceasefire” came into effect on 10 October 2025, Israeli forces have reportedly committed more than 3,000 violations, killed at least 1,005 Palestinians and injured 3,157 others, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

In the same period, MAP said the Israeli military has pushed the “Yellow Line” westward, consolidating control over an estimated 60% of Gaza, and said last Friday dozens of families in eastern Gaza City were forced to flee after Israeli forces marked a further expansion by placing yellow cement blocks deeper into the area.

Fikr Shalltoot, Gaza director at Medical Aid for Palestinians, said, "We mourn as Gaza reaches yet another tragic milestone – a thousand people killed since leaders announced an end to the violence in October," and added that thousands more people who were told the worst was over are still burying their loved ones.

Shalltoot also said, "Since October, what we have witnessed cannot in any way be called a ceasefire," as Israel’s bombardment continued and Gaza remained under a near-total siege.

The Boston Globe reported that the Gaza Health Ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants, and said it is staffed by medical professionals and maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by the international community.

Al Jazeera said the “ceasefire” has stopped major fighting but no agreement has been reached to implement the second, and more sensitive, phase of the deal where Israeli soldiers would withdraw from Gaza and Hamas would disarm.

Al Jazeera further reported that only 20 of 37 hospitals remain partially functional and there is not a single fully functioning hospital left, according to OCHA, while MAP said doctors are increasingly forced to treat patients without access to basic diagnostic tools, equipment, and medicines.

MAP said the “ceasefire” was supposed to offer an opportunity to begin rebuilding Gaza’s health system, which has been left in ruins following after two years of systematic destruction, but it said only 20 of 37 hospitals remain partially functional and there is not a single fully functioning hospital left.

MAP reported that more than 1,825 health facilities have been damaged or destroyed, and said 62% of primary healthcare medications were out of stock in April, while the World Health Organization (WHO) recorded 22 attacks on healthcare facilities in the early months of 2026 alone.

MAP said diagnostic services have also collapsed, with only around two functioning CT scanners serving Gaza's entire population, and said many cancer screening and laboratory services no longer available.

The Boston Globe said the enclave has seen near-daily strikes, as well as shelling and gunfire along the boundary that divides Gaza into Israeli and Palestinian-controlled zones, and said Israel has expanded the amount of territory it controls inside the strip.

MAP added that on 15 June, Mohammed Mousa Al Habil, an emergency room nurse at Shifa Hospital, and his six-year-old son Mousa were killed in an Israeli strike while refilling water tanks on the roof of their home in Gaza City, and said he is believed to be at least the fifth Palestinian healthcare worker killed since the “ceasefire” agreement came into effect.
