Five Palestinians died in an Israeli airstrike near Al-Qassam mosque in Beit Lahia, a town in northern Gaza. Three of the victims were children, according to Gaza's civil defense agency.
The strike targeted civilians gathered in the mosque courtyard. Gaza's civil defense operates as a rescue service under Hamas authority and confirmed the deaths in an official statement.
This attack comes amid growing tensions over the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that was signed in October. Gaza officials now claim Israel has committed 2,400 violations of that agreement.
The ceasefire was meant to stop the fighting and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. But these reported violations suggest the peace deal is under severe strain, with civilian deaths continuing to mount.
This deadly strike raises serious questions about Israel's compliance with the ceasefire deal signed with Hamas in October. Gaza officials claim Israel has violated the ceasefire 2,400 times, suggesting the fragile peace agreement may be breaking down.
Watch for responses from Israeli officials and international mediators about the ceasefire violations and civilian casualties.
