Israel and Hamas accuse each other of almost daily violations of a ceasefire aimed at halting the war in the Gaza Strip, which was sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
Since the ceasefire came into effect, at least 951 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Gaza Strip’s health ministry, which operates under Hamas and whose data is considered reliable by the United Nations (UN).
