Casualties and the ceasefire regime

Palestinian authorities claim that more than 73,000 people have been killed since the start of the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, launched after an attack by Hamas-led militants on southern Israel in October 2023. According to the data cited in the report, about 1,200 people were killed in Israel at that time.

The ceasefire brokered by the United States last year provides for the further reconstruction of the territory. At the same time, negotiators have yet to agree on the terms for disarming Hamas and withdrawing Israeli troops, while Israeli airstrikes continue.

Statements by the sides on violations of the agreement

According to Gaza Strip health authorities, at least 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed there since the truce took effect. The Israeli military, for its part, says that four Israeli servicemen have been killed. Israel and Hamas accuse each other of violating the ceasefire agreement.
