Israeli Strikes Kill Dozens as IDF Reports Rafah Tunnel Raid Under Fraying Truce

UN officials condemn mounting civilian deaths during a deepening humanitarian collapse.

Overview

  • Palestinian health authorities report at least 33 people killed in Gaza in the latest strikes, including attacks on tents for displaced families in Khan Younis and a building in Gaza City.
  • The Israeli military says it killed six alleged Hamas members and detained five others after fighters emerged from tunnels in eastern Rafah, with operations targeting underground sites continuing.
  • UNICEF says Israel has killed on average two children per day since the October 10 ceasefire took effect and warns of rising disease due to contaminated water and scarce medical supplies.
  • Forensic teams in Gaza have identified 99 of the 330 bodies Israel has returned under the truce; the exchange mechanism requires 15 Palestinian bodies for each Israeli hostage.
  • The UN, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Cuba denounce ongoing Israeli attacks and truce breaches, while UNIFIL records roughly 7,500 airspace and 2,500 ground violations by Israel in Lebanon during its separate truce.
