- Israeli military conducted two strikes in Gaza, targeting what it called military operatives in Al-Rimal and Al-Mawasi, though it provided no evidence or further details.
- Hospitals in Gaza City and Khan Younis reported eight fatalities from the strikes, including a four-year-old boy killed near the Cairo School in Al-Rimal.
- Ali Oweis told AFP his son and grandson were killed while sitting in a tent, saying, 'There is no ceasefire; the war is ongoing,' contradicting official truce claims.
- Hamas-run interior ministry stated five police officers were killed in a drone strike in Al-Mawasi while carrying out routine duties, naming the victims aged 23 to 53.
- Gaza's health ministry reported 1,580 deaths since the October ceasefire, with 74,594 total killed since the war began, figures the UN considers reliable.
- Trump administration-brokered peace plan for Gaza has stalled, despite a prior ceasefire that included prisoner and hostage exchanges.
Why it matters: Despite a formal ceasefire, Israel’s ongoing strikes have killed nearly 1,600 more people in Gaza, undermining the truce’s credibility and leaving civilians exposed. The continued loss of life, including children and police, signals a breakdown in the agreement’s enforcement, with no functioning peace process to stop the cycle.
