Recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have led to the deaths of at least 15 Palestinians, including five children, as the conflict continues despite an alleged ceasefire that began on October 10. Reports indicate the strikes targeted tents sheltering displaced persons, homes, and schools in various areas, particularly in Khan Younis and Jabalia. Local health officials stated that these attacks violated the fragile truce, with at least 425 Palestinians reported killed since its implementation, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry and various news sources Al Jazeera, BBC, AA, India Times, and Middle East Eye.

The strikes occurred despite a US-brokered ceasefire aimed at de-escalating conflict. Among the latest victims was an 11-year-old girl, Hamsa Housou, who was killed during an attack that also injured other civilians. Eyewitness accounts reveal the tragic impact on families, highlighting the dangers children face amid ongoing hostilities.
