Israeli forces killed at least two Palestinians and wounded 28 others, including children, in Gaza on Monday, according to Anadolu Agency. The attacks on Saturday in northern Gaza’s Jabalia camp and the Qizan an-Najjar area in southern Gaza are the latest in ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since October 2025.
According to Gaza's Health Ministry, the ongoing violations have resulted in 773 Palestinians killed and 2,171 injured. Anadolu Agency reported that the total death toll from Israel’s attacks since the “ceasefire” came into effect has risen to 614, with 1,640 more Palestinians wounded, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
The Israeli military acknowledged one attack, claiming its forces killed a fighter who crossed onto Israel’s side of the demarcation line in northern Gaza and approached its troops in a threatening manner. The army stated it would “continue to act to remove any immediate threat”.
These attacks occurred two days after US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace held its first meeting addressing reconstruction, security, and governance in Gaza. Trump announced that nine countries committed $7 billion for reconstruction efforts, in addition to a $10 billion contribution from the United States. Five countries also pledged to send troops for an International Stabilization Force (ISF) of 20,000.
However, the task of disarming Hamas remains unresolved, threatening the peace process. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists Hamas must disarm before reconstruction begins, while Hamas has rejected a 60-day deadline to comply, stating it will not relinquish its weapons as long as Israel occupies the Strip. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem expressed openness to a peacekeeping force to monitor the ceasefire and act as a buffer, without interfering in Gaza’s internal affairs.
Many Palestinians expressed skepticism about the plan's success, citing continued Israeli attacks and aid shortages. "Israel kills, bombs, violates the ceasefire agreement daily and expands the buffer zone without anyone stopping it," said Awad al-Ghoul, a displaced Palestinian.
