Gaza — 32 killed in bloody night as Israel shreds ceasefire

In another deadly night of Israeli violations, the death toll in the Gaza Strip rose to 32 after a series of air strikes, despite a supposed ceasefire.

West of Gaza City, near the Al-Abbas intersection, Israeli aircraft struck a residential apartment. Four civilians were killed, including two children and a woman. Others were injured. The apartment housed a civilian family and was reduced to rubble within moments. The strike came without any prior warning.

In the central governorate, Israeli aircraft also targeted eastern areas, causing further casualties and injuries as air strikes continued over populated zones. Another raid hit a residential apartment in Gaza City’s Al-Daraj neighbourhood, near the Jabalia bus station. Five civilians were injured, and panic spread through nearby homes.

In the south of the Strip, displaced families sheltering in tents were also targeted. In the Asdaa area north of Khan Yunis, an air strike hit a tent housing displaced people. Seven members of the Abu Hadaid family were killed. Other martyrs were reported in neighbouring tents. The toll remains preliminary and is expected to rise.

In a particularly serious escalation, Israeli aircraft bombed the Sheikh Radwan police station north of Gaza City. Thirteen people were killed.

Among the dead were four female officers from the Palestinian Women’s Police Force: Najoud al-Madhoun, Nafisa al-Arabeed, Sara al-Khatib, and Sundus al-Qouqa. Other police officers, staff, and civilians were also killed. Reports indicate that several people remain missing under the rubble.

Local sources have described the ceasefire as a “false truce” that has failed to stop the killings. Instead, they say it has provided political cover for continued attacks. Since the ceasefire was declared on 10 October 2025, more than 590 Israeli violations have been documented. These include air strikes, gunfire, and attacks on civilian areas.

At least 400 civilians have been killed, with more than 900 injured during this period.

With every new raid, the credibility of the ceasefire erodes further. Gaza continues to pay the price for a war that, in reality, has never stopped.
