Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip through aerial and artillery attacks near displacement sites, along with demolition and destruction operations within the area known as the “Yellow Line,” while maintaining restrictions on the movement of goods, humanitarian aid, and travel.

These figures brought the totals since the ceasefire took effect on October 11, 2025, to 1,386 Palestinians killed and 4,784 injured. The ministry also reported that 831 bodies have been recovered from beneath the rubble.
The cumulative toll since October 7, 2023, has reached at least 73,821 Palestinians killed and more than 174,897 injured.
Many victims remain trapped under the rubble in destroyed areas across the devastated and besieged Gaza Strip, as rescue and recovery teams continue to face severe shortages of personnel, heavy equipment, fuel, and other essential resources needed to reach them.
