Israeli strike kills civilians in Gaza's Nuseirat camp ahead of Eid al-Adha
Israeli warplanes struck a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on May 26, causing extensive damage to nearby homes, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA. Gaza's Health Ministry reports 904 Palestinians have been killed since the October 2025 ceasefire agreement took effect, with the ministry characterizing the strike as a violation of ceasefire terms. The strike occurred days before Eid al-Adha, a major Islamic holiday. The incident underscores ongoing tensions despite the formal ceasefire and raises questions about the agreement's enforcement mechanisms.
