Overview
- Israeli strikes on Saturday killed Al Jazeera cameraman Ahmed Wishah and multiple civilians including two sisters in Gaza City, continuing near-daily attacks since the October 2025 truce.
- Gaza’s Health Ministry reports more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire took effect and UNICEF called the truce a “deadly illusion” because hundreds of children have died.
- The Israel Defense Forces confirmed it carried out the strike that killed Ahmed Wishah and said he was a Hamas operative but has not publicly provided evidence to support that claim.
- A newly declared Israel–Hezbollah ceasefire unraveled as Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed dozens and an Israeli sergeant, raising the prospect that the violence will undercut follow-up U.S.–Iran diplomatic meetings.
- Humanitarian agencies warn of worsening medical shortages, blocked evacuations and long-term trauma for children, and negotiators say ongoing battlefield reversals are stalling any move to a more durable pause.
