Eight people were killed and 20 injured in an Israeli strike on a funeral procession in Gaza, which was targeting civilians in the Nuseirat refugee camp. This attack followed a day of multiple Israeli strikes that left at least 14 Palestinians dead, predominantly from drone strikes during funeral events. Despite a declared ceasefire with Hamas, Israeli military actions have escalated, with reports of increased attacks in the months since. The Israeli military confirmed the airstrike, claiming it targeted a terrorist cell, but acknowledged civilian casualties. Hamas condemned the actions as violations of the ceasefire and highlighted the ongoing violence against civilians. Reports indicate a significant rise in Israeli strikes, with a research group noting over 40 attacks last month, the highest since the ceasefire began. Palestinian media detailed the pervasive presence of drones above Gaza, highlighting ongoing infrastructural destruction and an alarming rate of child fatalities, reaching 274 since the ceasefire started, averaging one child per day.
