Gaza ceasefire strained by ongoing violence
Gaza officials say Israel has carried out about 2,400 attacks during the first six months of a ceasefire that began on October 10, with at least 754 people reported killed, many of them civilians.
The incidents include air strikes, shootings and raids. In the latest attack, four people, including a child, were killed when a police vehicle was hit in Gaza City. Israel did not comment on that strike but said it had targeted an armed militant elsewhere.
Israel says its operations are aimed at militants near restricted areas, while Gaza authorities and Hamas accuse it of violating the ceasefire and targeting civilians.
Residents near the so-called “yellow line” report growing danger as the boundary expands, forcing repeated displacement.
The ceasefire, announced by US President Donald Trump and later expanded to include reconstruction plans, has stalled, raising fears that the conflict could escalate again.
