According to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health, more than 900 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza this year. This brings the total number of Palestinians killed in the Strip since the ceasefire was declared on October 10 to over 1,300, including 301 children.
Hamas and Israel agreed to halt the war after accepting former US President Donald Trump's peace plan, which included a suspension of all military operations. However, Israeli strikes have continued since then, with BBC Verify analyzing numerous videos showing the impact of these strikes on various locations, including a beachside cafe and tents where displaced people have been sheltering.
Recent months have seen some of the highest death tolls, with over 100 people recorded killed each month between April and August. The health ministry attributes these deaths to Israeli military action but does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. The IDF disputes these figures, stating that there is no basis to assume that all listed deaths were due to IDF activity and emphasizes its commitment to minimizing civilian harm.
