Israeli Drone Strike in Gaza Kills Four Boys as Ceasefire Violations Continue

The fragile January ceasefire faces renewed strain with multiple deadly incidents, including the deaths of civilians and journalists in Gaza.

Four Palestinian boys, aged 13 to 15, were killed by an Israeli drone strike while gathering firewood in Gaza, according to eyewitness accounts.
Israeli forces claim the attack targeted individuals planting explosive devices, though no evidence has been provided to substantiate this claim.
Separately, five Palestinians, including two journalists, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a car in Beit Lahiya, and a fisherman was killed by Israeli naval fire near Gaza's coast.
The ceasefire, brokered in January, has seen repeated violations, with over 48,000 Palestinians killed since the war began in October 2023, according to Gaza health officials.
United Nations experts have accused Israel of committing genocidal acts and systematic rights abuses in Gaza, allegations Israel has strongly denied.
