Israeli military strikes on Wednesday led to the deaths of at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza, including young boys and journalists. The incidents occurred against the backdrop of a shaky ceasefire that had initially ceased hostilities between Hamas and Israel.

Officials reported separate strikes that resulted in the deaths of two 13-year-old boys collecting firewood. In an additional event, three journalists documenting a displacement camp were killed in an Israeli airstrike on their vehicle, despite it being known to the military.

Humanitarian challenges persist in Gaza with shortages of essentials and continued violence, despite the ceasefire that ended two years of conflict. Casualty figures continue to rise, with over 470 Palestinians reported dead in the absence of sustained peace.
