Israeli airstrikes killed at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza on Thursday, escalating tensions after a failed rocket launch by militants. Medics reported casualties in multiple locations, including children sheltering in tents and displaced families in schools. The Israeli military stated the strikes targeted Hamas militants and "terror infrastructure" in response to the rocket attack, which fell short and landed near a Gaza hospital. 🏥💔
Ceasefire Stalls Amid Rising Casualties
The October 2025 ceasefire agreement remains frozen beyond its initial phase, with over 400 Palestinian deaths reported since its implementation. Nearly 2 million Gazans now live in makeshift shelters amid damaged infrastructure, while Hamas retains control in areas vacated by Israeli forces. Talks for future phases—including Hamas disarming and Gaza’s reconstruction—have stalled, with Israel demanding the return of a hostage’s remains before progressing. 🔄⚖️
What’s Next?
U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed roadmap for Gaza faces hurdles as violence persists. The Rafah crossing to Egypt remains closed, with Israel linking its opening to the hostage issue. As both sides dig in, hopes for lasting peace dim. Stay tuned for updates. 🌍✌️
