Gaza strikes kill 21, including children, amid fragile truce

Israeli attacks in Gaza on Wednesday killed at least 21 Palestinians, including children and a paramedic. The strikes, which Israel claims were in response to a militant attack, targeted areas including Tuffah and Khan Younis. Among the dead were members of the same family, including two infants. The violence occurred despite a ceasefire agreement that has repeatedly broken down. The Rafah border crossing has reopened, but passage remains limited. Since October 7, 2023, over 71,800 Palestinians have died.
