Israel strikes Gaza, raids West Bank
Shafaq News- Gaza/ West Bank
Israeli aircraft carried out an airstrike east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza at dawn on Thursday, breaching the ceasefire in effect since October 10, 2025, according to Palestinian media.
Local outlets also said that Israeli forces shot a 14-year-old boy in the foot while he was inside a tent in the Al-Maslakh area south of the city.

Since the ceasefire began, Israel has killed 591 Palestinians and wounded 1,578 others, the Gaza-run Health Ministry reported, raising the war’s total death toll to 72,045, with 171,686 injured since October 7, 2023.
The Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights assessed that the death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza could exceed 200,000, based on data indicating the territory’s population has fallen by more than 10% since October 2023. In its “War Watch” report, which reviewed 23 armed conflicts worldwide, Stuart Casey-Maslen, head of the academy’s international humanitarian law project, described conditions in Gaza as “extremely grave,” calling for expanded humanitarian aid, including food, water, shelter, weather protection, and urgent medical care, particularly for the wounded requiring evacuation.
Casey-Maslen noted that the widely cited figure of more than 70,000 Palestinian deaths accounts only for bodies recovered, with many victims believed to remain under rubble. The reported population decline, he cautioned, requires verification, but if confirmed, it would indicate casualties far higher than official figures.
