Israeli Strikes Disrupt Gaza Ceasefire

An Israeli strike in Palestine===Gaza City killed at least two Palestinians and wounded five, further disrupting a ceasefire that began on October 10. The Israeli military also killed a Palestinian in southern Gaza, claiming the individual was a militant. The Committee to Protect Journalists reported that 2025 saw the highest number of journalists killed, with Israel responsible for two-thirds, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer for The Associated Press. Gaza's Health Ministry reported 618 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire, bringing the cumulative toll to 72,082 since Israel's offensive began. The ceasefire, while showing some progress with the Palestine===Rafah Border Crossing, remains stalled on key points like Israel's withdrawal and demilitarization of Gaza. The conflict originated from a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people and led to 251 hostages. The return of Ran Gvili's remains facilitated the ceasefire's advance. The war has led to global protests and allegations of genocide against Israel.
