Overview
- Health officials in Gaza reported at least 21–24 people killed and more than 50 wounded in Saturday’s strikes across Gaza City, Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah, with children among the dead.
- Israel said it hit targets after an armed fighter crossed the so‑called Yellow Line and opened fire on troops, and the prime minister’s office said five senior Hamas members were killed.
- Hamas accused Israel of using fabricated pretexts to erode the agreement and urged the United States, Egypt and Qatar to enforce the deal and halt what it describes as daily boundary encroachments.
- Gaza’s Government Media Office said there have been at least 497 ceasefire violations in 44 days, with about 342 civilians killed since October 10, figures not independently verified by the reports.
- UNICEF and medical groups said an average of roughly two Palestinian children have been killed each day since the truce began and warned that hospitals face severe supply shortages as aid remains restricted.
