GAZA CITY, Palestine/ISTANBUL

The Israeli army killed more than 100 Palestinians, including 46 children, in the Gaza Strip since Tuesday evening, violating a ceasefire agreement in place since Oct. 10, according to the Health Ministry.

The ministry said in a statement that Gaza hospitals received the bodies of 104 civilians, including 46 children and 20 women, since Tuesday night.

Israel’s renewed attacks also injured 253 people, including 78 children and 84 women, the ministry added.

The ministry data showed that since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, at least 211 people have been killed and 597 others in Israeli attacks.

Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said on US social media company Facebook that over 100 people were killed in “horrific Israeli massacres” in less than 12 hours across the Gaza Strip.

“These massacres are being carried out in full view of mediators and the international community, which remains silent and incapable of taking any concrete steps to stop the ongoing bloodshed of Palestinians that has continued for more than two years,” the spokesman said.

The state news agency Wafa, citing medical sources from Gaza hospitals, said that 31 people were killed by the Israeli army in the north, 42 people in central areas, and 18 in the southern Gaza Strip. Dozens of civilians were also injured in the attacks.

The Israeli strikes hit homes, tents sheltering displaced civilians, a vehicle, a shelter, and a hospital inside the so-called “yellow line,” medics told Anadolu.

The “yellow line” refers to the zone to which Israeli forces have withdrawn under the ceasefire agreement. It is a non-physical partition that runs through the Gaza Strip, dividing the Palestinian territory in half south of Gaza City and north of Khan Younis.

In northern Gaza, the Israeli army targeted a school-turned-shelter in an area in Beit Lahia, killing three civilians and injuring others.

The Israeli army also shelled two houses in the Al-Nasr neighborhood and the Shati refugee camp in western Gaza City, leaving eight people dead.

The body of a young Palestinian girl was retrieved from the rubble of a house in the Sabra neighborhood, taking the number of killed civilians in the attack to five.

A fresh Israeli strike on Wednesday morning hit a mosque sheltering displaced people in the Sabra neighborhood, witnesses told Anadolu.

Two people were killed, 10 injured in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City, and a number of civilians are still missing under the rubble of a house that was targeted by Israeli strikes. Several others were wounded in another attack southwest of the Zeitoun neighborhood.

A Palestinian mom and her child were killed by the Israeli army in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa neighborhood.

In the central Gaza Strip, four people lost their lives after an Israeli strike hit their tent in Deir al-Balah.

In the southern parts of the city, two civilians lost their lives, and several others were injured by the Israeli army.

Six people lost their lives, and many others were wounded when Israeli aircraft struck a school-turned-shelter and a house in the Bureij refugee camp.

Five others were also killed in strikes that targeted several homes in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

In a similar attack, nine people, four of them children, were killed, and nine others went missing under the rubble of a house that was hit by the Israeli army in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Eight people, including three children, were killed in Israeli fire on tents sheltering displaced civilians in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Medical sources said the death toll is expected to rise as several people sustained critical injuries and ongoing searches for those missing under the rubble of destroyed homes.

The brutal Israeli attacks came in violation of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on Oct. 10 under US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan.

Phase one of the deal includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Israel has killed more than 68,600 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 170,600 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.
