Israel Continues Relentless Attacks in Gaza, Killing Seven Palestinians in 24 Hours

Since the so-called 'ceasefire' deal was signed in early October 2025, the IDF has killed at least 784 Palestinians in Gaza

Gaza’s Health Ministry on Tuesday said that Israeli forces killed at least seven Palestinians and wounded 21 over the previous 24 hours as the IDF continues its relentless attacks and constant violations of the US-backed ceasefire deal.

Attacks in Gaza over the past day included an overnight bombing in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, that killed three Palestinians. According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, one of the victims, a man named Darwish al-Attal, had been married just a few days earlier. Middle East Eye reported that the strike targeted a police checkpoint.

Israeli warships on Tuesday targeted tents in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, killing at least one woman. Al Jazeera reported that at least one person was killed by an Israeli attack in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, and Israeli drones dropped explosives on tents in the Shujayea area, setting the camp on fire.

Also on Tuesday, a child who was wounded in a previous Israeli attack succumbed to his wounds. According to Al Jazeera, the child, Abdullah Dawas, was shot in the head near Jabalia, northern Gaza, about 10 days ago.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said that since the ceasefire deal was signed in early October, the IDF has killed at least 784 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 2,214, nearly 3,000 total Palestinians casualties.

The Trump administration has offered no criticism of the constant ceasefire violations, which also include restrictions on aid entering Gaza. Vice President JD Vance recently said that the administration had “solved” the problem in Gaza.
