Israeli forces continue air strikes in Gaza, killing over 1,400 Palestinians

Palestinians: Palestinians are the Arab population of Gaza and the wider Palestinian territories, including civilians affected by the Israel-Gaza conflict. The news concerns Palestinians killed in Gaza since the ceasefire began, with local health authorities reporting more than 1,400 deaths during that period. Israeli forces: Israeli military forces responsible for conducting Israel’s operations in Gaza, including airstrikes, ground activity, and property demolitions. In the reported development, they are accused by Palestinian health authorities and international observers of continuing attacks despite the US-brokered ceasefire, with strikes and demolitions contributing to further Palestinian deaths. • The ceasefire began on October 10, 2025, after mediation backed by the United States. • Israeli forces have reportedly maintained military control over large parts of Gaza and continued attacks west of the so-called yellow line. • Reported operations include airstrikes, small-arms and drone fire, shelling, and demolitions of buildings and civilian infrastructure. • Gaza’s Health Ministry reported at least 1,386 Palestinians killed by September 28, with subsequent reports placing the toll above 1,400. • The figures come from local Gaza health authorities; the UN has treated the ministry’s casualty reporting as a significant source while noting the conflict environment. • The headline indicates a fragile ceasefire with ongoing violence rather than a complete cessation of hostilities.
