What are the casualties of Israeli attacks since the ceasefire?
The Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas has led the police force in the Gaza Strip since 2007, ensuring public security while suppressing all manifestations of public dissent. Police largely disappeared during Israel's war with Hamas, as Israeli forces occupied large swaths of the Gaza Strip. However, the October ceasefire saw officers back on the streets of Gaza.
Israeli attacks despite the truce with Hamas
Sunday's Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip took place during the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the first phase of which entered into force on October 10, 2025. It was intended to end the war that had been going on for over two years.
Hamas has repeatedly accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. According to the AP, Israeli forces are shelling the Gaza Strip almost daily. Figures from the Hamas-controlled health ministry show that more than 650 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire came into force. During the same period, four Israeli soldiers were also killed.
