Israeli attacks have killed 738 people in Gaza during the six months since a US-brokered ceasefire took effect, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ceasefire was supposed to stop the fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas-led militants.
The ministry, which is part of the Hamas-led government, keeps detailed casualty records that are generally seen as reliable. Friday marked exactly six months since the ceasefire began.
While the major fighting has mostly stopped, the truce has not brought the peace that was hoped for. The ongoing attacks represent what officials call violations of the US-brokered agreement.
The situation in Gaza remains difficult for civilians caught in the middle. The ceasefire was meant to provide relief after intense fighting, but the continued violence shows how hard it is to maintain peace deals in long-running conflicts.
Experts say the Gaza ceasefire experience may offer lessons for handling other conflicts, including the current war with Iran.
This shows how fragile ceasefires can be in long-running conflicts. The ongoing violence despite a truce affects millions of civilians and could influence how future peace deals are made in other wars, including the current Iran conflict.
Watch for US response to ceasefire violations and whether the truce can be strengthened or if fighting escalates further.
