Israeli Attacks Kill Three Palestinians in Gaza, Death Toll Reaches 72,615

Israeli attacks in Gaza continued after a ceasefire took effect in October 2025, with Gaza’s Health Ministry reporting that three Palestinians were killed over the past 24 hours and that the death toll since October 2023 reached 72,615.

Yeni Safak English said hospitals received three bodies, including one recovered from rubble, and nine wounded people during the last 24 hours, describing the strikes as “latest Israeli violations of a ceasefire agreement that took effect in October 2025.”

Anadolu Ajansı reported the same 72,615 death toll and said the ministry stated that hospitals in the Palestinian enclave received three bodies and nine wounded during the last 24 hours.

Both outlets tied the new casualties to a wider accounting of the ceasefire period, with Yeni Safak English adding that Israeli attacks have killed 834 people and injured 2,365 since the ceasefire.

Anadolu Ajansı likewise said Israeli attacks have killed 834 people and injured 2,365 since the ceasefire.

The same reporting also emphasized the scale of destruction, with Yeni Safak English stating that the Israeli war on Gaza caused massive destruction affecting 90% of civilian infrastructure and that UN reconstruction costs were estimated at around $70 billion.

Anadolu Ajansı echoed the 90% figure and the “around $70 billion” reconstruction estimate, placing the latest deaths within a broader picture of ongoing damage and stalled relief.

Alongside the ministry’s latest totals, other reports described specific incidents in Gaza during the same ceasefire period and highlighted Israeli military officials pushing for renewed operations.

Daily Finland, citing Xinhua, said three Palestinians were killed on Monday by Israeli fire in incidents in the Gaza Strip, and it quoted Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, describing one death from an Israeli drone missile in southern Gaza City.

In a separate incident, Daily Finland said a young man was killed and several others were wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, and it added that a third Palestinian was killed by Israeli gunfire in the Atatra area in the northern Gaza Strip, all attributed to Basal.

The same report said Israel’s state-owned Kan TV News reported on Sunday that Israeli military officials were pushing for a resumption of hostilities in Gaza, believing the best time to "defeat Hamas is now."

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem told Xinhua that the threats “constitute "a violation of the ceasefire agreement and reflect an intention to escalate the aggression."”

Daily Finland also reported that Qassem said the threats “do not align with the positive spirit with which the movement and Palestinian factions have approached the proposal of U.S. President Donald Trump and the mediators.”

It further stated that Israeli Army Radio reported that Nickolay Mladenov, the U.S.-led Board of Peace's High Representative for Gaza, arrived in Israel to meet with security officials and would ask Israel to “allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and will also demand a reduction in the intensity of Israeli fighting in the Strip.”

In parallel, Daily Finland described ongoing tension with Israeli airstrikes continuing to kill and wound Palestinians intermittently, while Gaza’s health authorities said bodies of two Palestinians killed and nine wounded arrived at hospitals in Gaza in the past 24 hours.

The report also provided a different death toll framing, saying Gaza’s health authorities reported Monday that the death toll since the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect on Oct. 10, 2025, has risen to 832, and it contrasted that with the total number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli offensive since October 7, 2023 reaching 72,612 with 172,457 wounded.

The reporting also included direct voices from Gaza’s civil defense and from Hamas, while Israeli and other actors were described as not commenting or issuing statements.

Daily Finland quoted Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, describing deaths tied to an Israeli drone missile in southern Gaza City and to an Israeli airstrike on the Bureij refugee camp, and it used Basal’s account to place the killings in southern, central, and northern parts of the Strip.

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem, speaking to Xinhua, framed Israeli threats of renewed operations as “a violation of the ceasefire agreement and reflect an intention to escalate the aggression,” and he added that the threats “do not align with the positive spirit with which the movement and Palestinian factions have approached the proposal of U.S. President Donald Trump and the mediators.”

In a separate thread, Middle East Eye said that Wafa news reported “One strike targeted the central Bureij refugee camp, where a drone attack killed one person and wounded several others,” and it described another air strike southeast of Gaza City that killed another person and injured multiple civilians.

Middle East Eye also anchored its account in the ceasefire context by stating that the latest attacks come despite the “10 October ceasefire,” with “at least 834 people killed in Gaza since the truce took effect.”

The Muslim News provided additional named details, saying a medical source reported a “44-year-old man was shot dead in the Atatra area west of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza early Monday,” and it said two others were killed in separate drone strikes in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood and the Bureij refugee camp.

It also quoted the Health Ministry’s accounting that “nine additional people were injured over the past day,” taking wounded totals “to more than 172,457,” and it said “833 Palestinians have been killed and 2,345 injured since a ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025.”

JNS.org, presenting the Israeli military perspective, said Israeli troops “dismantled eight tunnel routes and killed dozens of terrorists,” and it described the Yellow Line as demarcating areas held by the IDF from those under Hamas control under the terms of the U.S.-brokered Oct. 10, 2025, ceasefire.

The same JNS.org account said troops under Southern Command remain deployed “in accordance with the ceasefire framework and will continue operations to eliminate immediate threats,” while also describing incidents where Israeli forces killed Hamas members near the Yellow Line as “immediate threat.”

Across the sources, the same ceasefire period is described through different lenses, including competing death tolls and different emphases on what is happening on the ground.

Yeni Safak English and Anadolu Ajansı both reported that three Palestinians were killed over the past 24 hours and that the death toll since October 2023 reached 72,615, with Gaza’s Health Ministry saying hospitals received three bodies and nine wounded.

By contrast, Al Jazeera Net reported “3 martyrs within 24 hours in Israeli bombardment on Gaza” and said Gaza’s Health Ministry announced three Palestinians were martyred in the last 24 hours, while it stated that the total death toll from the Israeli genocide since October 2023 has risen to 72,615 martyrs and 172,468 wounded.

France 24, in a different dated snapshot, said Palestinian health officials reported that Israeli airstrikes killed at least four Palestinians in the Gaza Strip “today, Thursday,” and it also described an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank where Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 15-year-old boy.

The Muslim News described a broader regional escalation and then returned to Gaza with a death toll since October 2023 of 72,613 and a separate account of “three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in the past 24 hours,” including a “44-year-old man” in Atatra and two drone strikes in Zeitoun and the Bureij refugee camp.

JNS.org framed the same overall period as an Israeli military effort, saying reservists from the 205th Brigade completed a two-month operation in the northern Strip and that troops dismantled eight tunnel routes and killed dozens of terrorists, while also asserting that forces remain deployed “in accordance with the ceasefire framework.”

The Muslim News and Daily Finland both referenced the Bureij refugee camp and drone attacks, but Daily Finland’s narrative centered on Basal’s accounts and on threats of renewed operations, while Middle East Eye’s narrative centered on Wafa’s reporting of drone and air strikes and the “10 October ceasefire.”

Even within the same day’s Gaza incidents, the sources diverged on the number of people killed since the ceasefire, with Daily Finland citing Gaza health authorities reporting the death toll since Oct. 10, 2025, has risen to 832 and with the same report also stating the total number killed since October 7, 2023 reached 72,612.

Meanwhile, the Yeni Safak English and Anadolu Ajansı reports anchored the death toll at 72,615, and Al Jazeera Net anchored it at 72,615 martyrs and 172,468 wounded.

The result is a patchwork of figures and framing, where the same ceasefire context is used to support different totals, different incident descriptions, and different interpretations of what “violations” and “operations” mean.

The sources also point to what comes next in the ceasefire’s implementation and in the broader regional conflict, with humanitarian access and operational tempo at the center of the dispute.

Daily Finland said Israeli Army Radio reported that Nickolay Mladenov would ask Israel to “allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and will also demand a reduction in the intensity of Israeli fighting in the Strip,” and it added that no comment had been issued by Mladenov or the Israeli side regarding these meetings.

It also described disagreements persisting regarding “the mechanisms for delivering humanitarian aid and the military withdrawal,” while stating that the implementation of the agreement's terms remains stalled.

Yeni Safak English described the ceasefire as meant to end a two-year Israeli onslaught on Gaza and said Israel continues daily strikes and a blockade that has worsened humanitarian conditions, adding that about 2.4 million Palestinians, including 1.5 million displaced, face dire conditions.

It further said Israel has continued daily violations, including “killings, arrests, and restrictions on the entry of food, medicine, and shelter materials.”

JNS.org, however, described continued Israeli operations within the ceasefire framework, saying forces under Southern Command remain deployed “in accordance with the ceasefire framework and will continue operations to eliminate immediate threats.”

It also said troops from the 14th Brigade are set to replace them in the area, indicating a planned rotation of forces after the two-month operation by the 205th Brigade.

In parallel, the sources broadened the stakes beyond Gaza by describing Lebanon’s emergency services and the impact of strikes on rescue workers, with Mondoweiss reporting that the Lebanese Health Ministry has recorded at least 103 health workers killed, alongside more than 238 wounded and at least 25 ambulances and civil defense vehicles destroyed.

Mondoweiss also described a specific episode in Mayfadoun near Nabatiyeh, saying an initial Israeli strike on the village drew a first paramedic team and that Israel struck the team, killing two, and then struck a second team and a third team that arrived to evacuate the wounded.

It quoted a Red Cross paramedic who requested anonymity saying the team operates on a deliberate 15-minute delay, adding “That quarter of an hour is a gamble between life and death,” and it stated that Hassan Badawi was killed near Bint Jbeil while traveling on a route the Red Cross said it had coordinated with Israeli forces for safe passage.

Taken together, the sources portray a ceasefire under strain, with humanitarian access and intensity of fighting contested, continued military operations framed as “immediate threats,” and a regional escalation that includes documented casualties among health workers and rescue services.
