Strikes intensify across Gaza as health officials say 680 Palestinians have been killed since October’s ‘ceasefire’.

Israeli air strikes have killed four people across the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials said, as Israel continues its genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged territory despite a United States-brokered “ceasefire”.
Three of those killed were members of the local police. They died when an Israeli air strike hit a vehicle in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday. Ten others were wounded in the attack, medics said.
Earlier, a separate strike in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of northern Gaza killed a senior figure from an armed group linked to Fatah. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military about the incidents.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 680 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since a “ceasefire” took effect in October. Israel has reported four soldiers killed in the same period.
On Thursday, drone strikes in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood killed at least three Palestinians, wounding others.

As international attention shifted to the war with Iran, in the background, Israel moved to cut off the Gaza Strip. On February 28, the same day the first strikes hit Iran, Israeli officials announced that they were closing every crossing and aid corridor into the Palestinian territory.
As of March 19, all of those crossings except one—Kerem Shalom—remain closed, which humanitarian workers say has reduced aid flows to a trickle. Life in Gaza has never regained its footing since October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants based in the enclave launched an attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals, mostly civilians, and took 251 hostages.
The Israeli response and vow to eliminate Hamas has devastated living areas in Gaza. The 1.8 million people living there today confront renewed aid shortages, skyrocketing prices, and persistent dangers. Some Palestinians worry that the latest suffocation will push Gaza back into the famine that clutched the enclave after Israel blocked aid for eleven weeks last year.
