Israel Attacks Gaza, Killing Several and Violating Ceasefire
Gaza (QNN)- Israeli forces have stepped up their attacks across Gaza, killing several people and injuring others, in a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement.
At least five civilians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli strike on a café in west of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza on Sunday, according to local sources. The attack reportedly targeted an area among tents sheltering displaced families.

Two Palestinians were also killed and many wounded in an Israeli air raid in Jabalia, northern Gaza.
Reports also said the Israeli military carried out attacks in Rafah in southern Gaza.
At least three others were killed in two Israeli airstrikes targeting a gathering of civilians in Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.
What We Know
According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times since the truce came into effect, killing 38 Palestinians and wounding another 143.
“These violations have included crimes of direct gunfire against civilians, deliberate shelling and targeting, and the arrest of a number of civilians, reflecting the occupation’s continued policy of aggression despite the declared end of the war,” said the Office on Saturday.
Under the US-brokered ceasefire deal, which came into force on October 10, the Israeli forces are stipulated to “immediately end” the genocide in Gaza, which has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians in two years, including aerial and artillery bombardment and targeted attacks and allow the flow of aid.
Israel has also continued to seal Gaza’s Rafah crossing with Egypt despite repeated international calls to allow in large-scale aid deliveries.
For several days, the United Nations has warned that there has been little progress in aid deliveries into Gaza and that assistance must enter at scale through all border crossings to meet urgent humanitarian needs.
Last week, it announced it was intensifying its blockade of Gaza by allowing only half the number of aid trucks it promised to let in.
Hamas condemned Israel’s decisions and attacks, calling them “blatant breach of the ceasefire terms and a denial of Israel’s commitments to mediators and guarantor states.”
“War criminal Netanyahu is fabricating false excuses to obstruct the agreement and evade his obligations.”
