At least 25 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the Hamas-run health ministry reported, marking one of the deadliest days since the ceasefire took effect five weeks ago. Among the deceased were ten individuals in a strike on a ministry of religious endowments building in the eastern Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City. Israel's military claimed to target 'Hamas terrorist targets' in response to gunfire launched towards soldiers in Khan Younis. Hamas condemned the strikes, branding them a 'dangerous escalation' that could jeopardize the ceasefire. Reports of violence surged after the UN Security Council reinforced a resolution endorsing a peace plan for Gaza. The Civil Defense agency recorded numerous air, drone, and artillery strikes across various locations, causing extensive casualties and destruction. Eyewitnesses reported that videos captured rescuers uncovering victims under rubble, contributing to a heightened sense of urgency around the deeply fragile ceasefire arrangement.
