Israeli Strikes in Gaza Claim Lives Despite Ceasefire
Recent Israeli military actions in Gaza have resulted in multiple fatalities, raising concerns even as a ceasefire agreement remains in effect. The escalating violence underscores the fragility of the truce and the ongoing tensions in the region.
At least 17 Palestinians have been reported dead in Gaza over the past 24 hours due to a series of Israeli airstrikes, according to multiple reports. The deaths include a young girl, 11, who was killed in northern Gaza.
On Monday, February 26, four people were killed in Gaza following attacks by the Israeli military, despite the existing ceasefire. The following day, February 27, reports indicated that 13 Palestinians had died in Gaza as a result of various Israeli bombardments. The total number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has now reached 71,409, Anadolu Ajansı reported.
“No hay paz ni tregua” – “There is no peace nor truce” – was the sentiment expressed by Democracy Now!, reporting that Israel killed 14 Palestinians in Gaza.
The ongoing conflict continues to have a devastating impact on civilians in Gaza, and the recent surge in violence raises questions about the long-term prospects for peace in the region.
