More than a thousand Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since a ceasefire agreement took effect last October, according to local observers. The latest airstrike, which killed an entire family and a journalist, has renewed doubts about the ceasefire’s effectiveness and raised questions about civilian safety.

Analysts cited in the report argue that Israel views the ceasefire primarily as a mechanism to prevent attacks on its soldiers, while maintaining the right to carry out strikes when deemed necessary. Despite the agreement being in place for about nine months, civilian casualties continue to rise, with multiple members of the same families increasingly among the victims.

The absence of clear explanations from the Israeli military regarding these attacks has deepened public concern in Gaza. Observers warn that the ongoing civilian deaths highlight a failure to ensure protection for noncombatants and cast doubt on the practical enforcement of the ceasefire.
