Israeli airstrikes kill seven Palestinians in Gaza amid ceasefire violations
Israeli drone attacks killed at least seven Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, including five in a strike on Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, according to Palestinian health authorities and civil defense officials. The strikes occurred as Israel continues military operations despite an active ceasefire agreement, ahead of the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha. The deaths represent the latest violations of a ceasefire meant to pause hostilities in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The incident underscores persistent tensions and breakdown in adherence to agreed-upon ceasefires between the parties.
