Two Palestinians, including a child, were killed and 14 others injured due to Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, breaching a ceasefire in effect since October 10, 2025. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported that the fatalities and injuries occurred when Israeli forces targeted areas in Az-Zawayda, shortly after issuing an evacuation warning. Additionally, seven Palestinians were injured in an airstrike near Al-Albani Mosque, west of Khan Younis. Israeli warships also shelled the Rafah coastline, while military vehicles fired on homes in Hamad City, although no casualties were reported from these incidents. The assaults took place despite a recent call from U.S. President Donald Trump for an end to Israeli strikes on Gaza. Since October 2023, the Israeli military has reportedly killed over 73,000 Palestinians and injured more than 174,000 during its ongoing offensive.
Why It Matters
This escalation of violence highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the conflict has resulted in significant civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. The ceasefire violations underscore the fragility of peace efforts in the region and the challenges faced by international mediators in addressing the conflict. The high casualty figures since October 2023 reflect the severe impact of the military operations on the Palestinian population, raising concerns among human rights organizations and the global community about the need for a sustainable resolution to the conflict.
