At least 11 Palestinians, including Col. Mohammed Marwan Salem, the police chief of Jabalia refugee camp, were killed in recent Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, as reported by Palestinian authorities. These attacks occurred despite an ongoing ceasefire that began on October 10, 2025. Among the deceased, seven bodies, including that of a woman, were transported to local medical facilities following a strike near Shadia School in Al-Falouja. The Gaza Interior Ministry confirmed that the police post was targeted in a densely populated area filled with displaced individuals. Additional casualties occurred in separate incidents, including two fatalities from shelling southwest of Gaza City and the death of a child from Israeli gunfire in Rafah. Since the ceasefire’s initiation, over 1,100 Palestinians have reportedly been killed, with a total of more than 73,000 deaths since the conflict escalated on October 8, 2023.
Why It Matters
The situation in Gaza has been dire, with approximately 90% of civilian infrastructure reported as damaged or destroyed. The ongoing conflict has led to significant humanitarian crises, with thousands of casualties and injuries. Historical tensions between Israel and Palestine have intensified in recent years, culminating in repeated escalations of violence and military actions. The current ceasefire, while intended to reduce hostilities, has not effectively halted violence, raising concerns from international observers about the humanitarian impact on civilians in the region.
