Israeli army struck various areas across Gaza Strip, while Western leaders remain quiet about the ongoing genocide
At least 11 Palestinians were killed and others injured in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, in a fresh violation of the October 10 ceasefire agreement, the Civil Defence said.
The ongoing genocide takes places as US President Donald Trump plans to call together his Board of Peace which has drawn much criticism about its constitution and its ever broadening mandate. Concerns have been raised about its membership which consists mainly of those supportive of Trump, and excludes any real Palestinian representation.
The process has also come underfire for its turning a blind eye to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the increasing state-supported settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Gaza’s Civil Defence said that Sunday’s fatalities occurred in the continued Israeli bombardment of various areas in the enclave since dawn.
A medical source said five people were killed and others wounded in an airstrike targetting a group of civilians southwest of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Four more were killed in a drone strike on a tent housing displaced people in the Al-Faluja area west of Jabalia town, paramedics and witnesses said.
One Palestinian was also killed, and others were injured in an Israeli strike targeting a civilian gathering near the University College in the Tal al-Hawa area, southwest of Gaza City.
No information was immediately available regarding the circumstances surrounding the killing of the 11th victim.
Separately, the Israeli army carried out extensive demolitions of Palestinian homes northeast of the Jabalia refugee camp, accompanied by heavy artillery shelling and gunfire from Israeli military vehicles in the area.
The ceasefire agreement ended Israel’s two-year war that began on October 8, 2023. Palestinian authorities say the conflict killed more than 72 000 Palestinians, wounded over 171 000 others, and caused widespread destruction affecting 90% of civilian infrastructure. The UN estimates reconstruction costs at approximately $70 billion.
At least 601 Palestinians have been killed and over 1 600 others injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. – Anadulo Agency
