Women and children among 10 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza

  • Israeli strikes in Gaza on Thursday resulted in the deaths of at least 10 Palestinians , with Shifa Hospital reporting nine fatalities, including two women and two children , from overnight attacks in Gaza City, alongside one additional death from an evening strike.
  • The Israeli military claimed its overnight strikes in northern Gaza killed four militants, described as senior members of an apparatus responsible for protecting Hamas leaders and providing intelligence assessments.
  • These fatalities occurred despite a US-brokered ceasefire agreement in October, which aimed to end more than two years of conflict between Israel and Hamas, yet has been marked by almost daily Israeli attacks.
  • Since the October truce, Israeli forces have carried out repeated airstrikes and frequently opened fire on Palestinians, leading to the deaths of 936 people, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
  • Conversely, Palestinian fighters have conducted attacks that have killed four Israeli soldiers in Gaza during the supposed ceasefire, with the wider conflict initiated in October 2023 having killed nearly 73,000 Palestinians and injured over 172,000.
