• Israeli airstrikes kill at least eleven Palestinians across Gaza.

Recent Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of at least eleven Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, further intensifying ongoing violence amid reported violations of the ceasefire agreement established on October 10, 2023. The fatalities occurred due to strikes in various locations, notably a tent encampment housing displaced families and areas around Khan Younis, according to reports from health officials and paramedics, who cited a significant escalation in hostilities over the past days. These developments follow a pattern of over 1,600 Israeli violations of the ceasefire, with health estimates indicating that at least 601 Palestinians have been killed since the agreement took effect, according to Al Jazeera, Reuters, BBC, Middle East Eye, and Anadolu Agency.

The strikes included an attack that killed four individuals in a tent camp near Jabalia and five others in Khan Younis that specifically targeted a group of civilians. Israeli military officials justified the attacks as retaliation for alleged ceasefire violations by Hamas, stating militants had breached the prescribed boundaries of the ceasefire established under earlier agreements. The frequency of such military actions raises concerns among humanitarian organizations regarding the increasingly perilous conditions for civilians in Gaza, as documented by numerous reports and local health officials, according to Al Jazeera, Reuters, BBC, Middle East Eye, and Anadolu Agency.

The humanitarian toll of the conflict since it escalated in October 2023 is staggering, with Palestinian authorities reporting severe casualties exceeding 72,000 and vast infrastructural damage throughout Gaza. The UN has indicated that reconstruction costs will near $70 billion, exacerbating the challenges facing displaced populations as the situation remains dire and increasingly unstable, according to Al Jazeera, Reuters, BBC, Middle East Eye, and Anadolu Agency.
