Israeli Fire Kills Dozens in Gaza Despite Fragile Ceasefire

Despite a U.S.-backed ceasefire that took effect on October 10, violence continues in the Gaza Strip with Israeli forces conducting strikes and attacks along the demarcated "Yellow Line." Multiple incidents have resulted in the deaths and injuries of Palestinians, including children, with reports of drone fire and shelling targeting various neighborhoods such as Shuja’iyya, Rafah, and Gaza City. Israeli military justifies these actions by claiming that Palestinians crossed the "Yellow Line," which marks areas under Israeli control, posing threats to troops. Palestinian health authorities report over 230 killed and hundreds injured since the ceasefire began, highlighting the fragile and frequently violated nature of the truce. These ongoing clashes have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, including malnutrition and neurological illnesses. Meanwhile, efforts to exchange hostages and bodies between Hamas and Israel continue amid the unstable ceasefire conditions.
