Israeli forces killed eight Palestinians, including two children, in overnight strikes across the Gaza Strip. The attacks hit residential buildings in Deir al-Balah, Gaza City, and Khan Younis, despite a ceasefire that has been in place since October 10, 2025.
The Strikes
Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire hit multiple locations in the Gaza Strip overnight. In Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, a residential building was targeted, killing two Palestinians and wounding others. Warplanes bombed a home in the al-Susi building in western Gaza City, killing a child and both parents. In Khan Younis, southern Gaza, a strike on a house belonging to the al-Hams family in the Mawasi area killed three, including one child. The Israeli military carried out attacks from air, sea, and land throughout the night.
Casualties and Ceasefire Violations
The latest attacks bring the death toll since the ceasefire began on October 10, 2025, to 1,222, with 4,053 wounded, according to Palestinian sources. Rescue workers have recovered 804 bodies from under rubble since the truce took effect. The ceasefire, which formally halted major combat operations, has been repeatedly violated, with Israel continuing strikes on what it says are militant targets. Since October 2023, the total number of Palestinians killed in Gaza has reached 73,349, with 174,162 injured, and thousands remain missing under debris.
What's Next
The Israeli military has not issued a statement on the overnight operations. It remains unclear whether international mediators will take action to reinforce the ceasefire or if the violations will escalate into a broader resumption of hostilities.
