Continued Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and West Bank violence

Recent Israeli strikes in Gaza have resulted in multiple fatalities, with Palestinian health officials reporting at least three deaths in Gaza City and four others in separate incidents across Khan Younis and Maghazi. The Gaza interior ministry stated that two policemen were among those killed in an attack near a bank in Gaza City, while the Israeli military confirmed targeting militants. In the West Bank city of Nablus, a 15-year-old was reported killed by Israeli forces during a military raid. Since the October 2025 ceasefire began, local health authorities report over 790 Palestinian deaths in Gaza, while Israel reports the loss of four soldiers, with both sides accusing each other of violating the agreement. Total casualties since the war began in October 2023 exceed 72,000 in Gaza, following the initial October 7 attack that killed 1,200 people in Israel. Local residents and relatives of victims, such as those mourning five casualties from a previous strike in northern Gaza, have stated that the ceasefire remains ineffective. The Israeli military has confirmed some strikes while remaining silent on others, maintaining that their actions target militant threats.
