Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday resulted in the deaths of 11 Palestinians, including two children and three journalists, medical sources in Gaza confirmed. The Israeli military stated it neutralized a Palestinian militant posing a potential threat. These events disrupt a fragile ceasefire in place for the past three months.

The journalists were on assignment with the Egyptian Committee documenting tent encampments for displaced Palestinians. Local media, along with an Egyptian security official, confirmed the vehicle's affiliation to this committee. However, responses from the Israeli military on the incident remain absent.

The current unrest follows accusations from both Israel and Hamas regarding violations of an October truce, while negotiations over further steps in U.S. President Trump's peace initiative falter. Additionally, Wednesday's violence escalated with several deadly incidents involving Israeli tank shelling and shootings, bringing the day's death toll to at least 11.
