Ceasefire Breached by Israeli Strikes, Aid Restricted

Israeli forces have continued strikes, demolitions and raids in Gaza despite the ceasefire that began Oct. 10, including a drone or airstrike in Shujayea that Gaza officials say killed at least one civilian near a vegetable market; Israel said it struck a militant who crossed the so‑called “yellow line,” which Hamas denied. Palestinian health authorities say at least 236 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Israeli strikes since the ceasefire began, while Israel reports three of its soldiers have died amid ongoing operations. Gaza’s Government Media Office reported dozens of breaches—citing 194 violations including incursions beyond the “yellow line,” airstrikes, demolitions and blocked aid—and said only about 3,203 of 13,200 agreed aid trucks have entered Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Israel will “systematically eliminate” remaining Hamas pockets, and violence has spilled onto Lebanon’s front with reported fatalities in Nabatiyeh despite a truce. The ceasefire has largely calmed full‑scale war and enabled hostage handovers and some civilian returns, but mutual accusations, fresh strikes and restrictions on aid have left the truce fragile and mediators, especially the U.S., engaged.
