  • Eight Palestinians, including three children, were killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
  • The casualties occurred amid ongoing Israeli military operations and restrictions on humanitarian aid.
  • Palestinian officials accused Israel of violating a fragile ceasefire and undermining stabilization efforts.

Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday resulted in the deaths of at least eight Palestinians, three of whom were children, according to medical sources in Gaza. Gaza's ambulance and emergency services reported an additional fatality and several injuries following an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle west of Gaza City.

These latest casualties occurred while Israeli military operations continue and humanitarian aid faces ongoing restrictions. This situation persists despite a recent political development where Hamas transferred Gaza's civil administration to a technocratic committee under a ceasefire agreement.

Palestinian officials stated that the continued Israeli strikes and aid restrictions violate the fragile ceasefire. They accused Israel of undermining efforts to stabilize the territory, noting that Israeli forces have conducted airstrikes and ground operations in multiple areas. Limited humanitarian access has further worsened the crisis.

Health officials in Gaza have warned that civilians, especially children, remain at grave risk due to the ongoing military operations. International mediators are reportedly working to preserve the ceasefire and encourage compliance from both sides. The newly appointed technocratic committee is expected to manage civilian administration and aid reconstruction, but the ongoing violence casts doubt on the ceasefire's implementation.
