In a tragic escalation, Israeli fire has claimed the lives of at least 17 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, in Gaza. This is according to local hospital officials who highlighted the severity of the attack on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Israel reports that militant gunfire injured an Israeli soldier, marking another incident in the ongoing hostilities.

The deaths occurred despite an active ceasefire that was put into effect on October 10, 2025. The agreement, meant to halt the violence, has seen repeated violations, leading to a steadily rising death toll among Palestinian civilians.

Gaza's health ministry reports over 530 Palestinian fatalities since the ceasefire began. The renewed violence underscores the fragility of the truce and raises questions about its effectiveness in ending the conflict.
