Israel kills 13 Gazans in 24 hours as it continues to violate truce
An Israeli airstrike in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, killed a six-year-old girl and her parents, with their son surviving injured. Another strike in Gaza City killed one person, though the Israeli military did not comment on this incident. Palestinian health officials reported at least 13 Palestinians killed and 18 injured in Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours, marking a violation of the ongoing ceasefire agreement. The attacks occurred despite efforts to implement a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal, which has seen limited progress due to mutual distrust between Hamas and Israel. The Palestinian Health Ministry noted that since the ceasefire began on October 10, 2025, 1,123 Palestinians have been killed and 3,616 injured, with 800 bodies recovered. Talks in Cairo aimed at advancing the second phase of the U.S. peace plan, including Hamas disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawal, have stalled.
Israel killed a 10-year-old boy in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, raising the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks since the October truce with Hamas to more than 1,110, according to local health officials. The boy, Muataz Abu Shaar, was shot by Israeli gunfire in Rafah, southern Gaza, and later pronounced dead at a hospital. His death adds to a grim tally that includes four Israeli soldiers killed in the same period. In another attack nearby, an Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis killed a 36-year-old man and injured three others. Later in the day, an Israeli airstrike on a police station in northern Gaza killed eight people, including a female officer. The victims were transported to Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, which confirmed receiving the bodies. Hamas condemned the airstrike, stating that the police station chief was among those killed. Israel’s military confirmed carrying out the strike but provided few details. The violence occurred as Hamas leaders met in Cairo for talks aimed at advancing the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan. Discussions included Hamas disarmament and Israeli military withdrawals, though no progress has been made so far. Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire, which they say is hindering implementation of the plan. The ongoing conflict continues despite the truce, which has largely stopped large-scale combat but not Israeli attacks. Gaza’s population of around 2 million people, many of whom have been displaced multiple times, now lives in a narrow coastal strip, primarily in makeshift shelters or damaged structures under Hamas control. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israel’s two-year war has resulted in over 73,000 deaths, predominantly women and children. The war began with the October 7, 2023, Hamas incursion into southern Israel, which led to 1,200 civilian casualties. Meanwhile, the European Union has facilitated the mobilization of $1 billion in pledged funds for Gaza’s recovery and rebuilding efforts. This follows extensive destruction caused by Israeli airstrikes, leaving much of the territory in ruins. A senior EU official announced the initiative during a meeting of the Palestine Donors Group, which includes the EU, Middle Eastern countries, and international organizations. However, the exact allocation of funds and the timing of reconstruction remain uncertain. The current ceasefire remains stalled, with tensions persisting between the parties involved. The EU’s involvement extends beyond financial support, with high-level meetings involving figures such as Nickolay Mladenov, head of the Trump-led Board of Peace, and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa. Mladenov emphasized the importance of disarming Hamas as a prerequisite for moving forward with the ceasefire. Mustafa called for a “resilient, sovereign, contiguous and viable Palestinian state,” a goal opposed by Israel’s current government. The Palestinian Authority seeks a role in Gaza’s reconstruction, although the U.S. 20-point plan only mentions the possibility of a future Palestinian state. Separately, the EU is considering measures against increased Israeli settler violence in the West Bank. The European Commission has proposed options including cutting trade with Israeli settlements, though such actions would require a majority vote rather than unanimous agreement. Nations like Ireland and Spain advocate for stronger action, while others, including Germany and Czechia, prefer a gradual approach. Bulgaria’s foreign minister questioned whether sanctions would have a meaningful impact or risk escalating tensions. The EU’s foreign policy chief noted that the legal framework for such measures requires careful consideration.

The European Union has facilitated the mobilization of $1 billion in pledges for Gaza's recovery efforts following two years of Israeli bombardments that severely damaged the area. However, the delivery of funds and the start of reconstruction remain uncertain due to the stalled ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. European Commissioner Dubravka Suica highlighted the challenges faced by civilians and emphasized the need for 'trusted partners' to manage the aid. The reconstruction effort faces significant hurdles, including the massive amount of rubble and ongoing disputes over Hamas disarmament. Meanwhile, the EU is considering responses to increased Israeli settler violence in the West Bank, with differing approaches among member states regarding potential sanctions.
