Gaza death toll rises
Israeli attacks have killed at least 601 Palestinians and wounded 1,607 in Gaza since the October 10 “ceasefire”, according to the Health Ministry. At least 10 people were killed in the past 24 hours alone, the ministry said.
The total number of people killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Strip since October 7, 2023 has reached 72,061, with 171,715 injured.
Israeli ‘ceasefire’ violations continue, least 9 killed in Gaza since dawn
At least nine Palestinians have been killed in attacks since dawn. The first attack was in Jabalia in the northern parts of the Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces targeted a tent where displaced Palestinians have been sheltering.
There was another air strike on a group of people in Khan Younis, where at least five were killed. These Palestinians were just living their normal lives when the Israelis targeted them.
But Israel justified these attacks, saying they came after they monitored five fighters in the northern parts of the Gaza Strip. There’s no way we could confirm these justifications, but every single day, there have been endless violations by the Israeli forces since the “ceasefire” started.
Now, more than 1,600 violations have occurred, and nearly 600 Palestinians have been killed since the “ceasefire”, and this is happening on a daily basis.

There was also an attack on a tent, where people were sheltering, in the Jabalia refugee camp where at least four people have been killed. There was also another attack on Khan Younis where at least five people were killed.
This raised today’s death toll to 10 people.
