Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed more than 880 Palestinians since the so-called ceasefire deal was supposed to go into effect in October 2025, according to numbers released by Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The Health Ministry said in its daily update, which it releases about midday Gaza time, that it recorded the killing of at least one Palestinian and the injury of 16 over the previous 24-hour period.
The ministry said that since the ceasefire deal was signed, 881 Palestinians have been killed and 2,621 have been wounded, a total of more than 3,500 Palestinian casualties. “A number of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews have been unable to reach them so far,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.
Israeli attacks continued on Wednesday, with the Palestinian news agency WAFA reporting that at least seven Palestinians, including three children, were wounded by Israeli shelling across the Strip overnight.
Israel has also violated the ceasefire deal by taking more territory in Gaza, as the IDF now occupies 60% of the Strip, up from the 53% it controlled at the start of the so-called truce, and continuing aid restrictions.
While the US and Israel are accusing Hamas of violating the deal by not disarming, the actual agreement Hamas and Israel signed only established a ceasefire and a mechanism for the release of Israeli hostages and the recovery of Israeli bodies buried under the rubble. Issues like Hamas’s disarmament and a full Israeli withdrawal were meant to be dealt with in follow-up negotiations, which have been stalled.
