Israeli strikes killed more than 1,400 Palestinians in Gaza during the ceasefire

Situation Overview

Israeli strikes in Gaza continued despite a ceasefire that began on 10 October 2025, with the Hamas-run health ministry reporting that more than 1,400 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since the start of the ceasefire. The BBC describes the case of Fida al-Toutah, who died on 21 September from a gunshot wound to the head after gunfire erupted in her tent in central Gaza. The ceasefire followed an agreement framework that included the release of thousands of Palestinians held by Israel in return for all 48 remaining hostages held in Gaza, and an agreement to end the war triggered by the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, when about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage. The BBC reports that on the ground the ceasefire stopped Israel’s large-scale bombardment, bringing substantial relief, but fighting and killings continued. The next concrete development reported is the continued stalling of the peace deal intended to end the war, with the ceasefire’s implementation remaining contested on the ground.

Geopolitical Implications

1. 01

   Continued lethal strikes during a ceasefire undermine the credibility of the hostage-and-end-war framework and raise the risk of further breakdown in negotiations.

2. 02

   Reported stalling of the peace deal to end the war suggests persistent gaps between the parties on implementation and sequencing.
