Israel and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas reached a US-brokered deal last October that was meant to halt Israeli violence in the Palestinian territory.

Israel has carried out daily violations of a ceasefire in place since October 10, 2025, killing 736 people and wounding 2,035 as of March 18, according to Palestine Health Ministry data.

Israel launched a genocide in Gaza in October 2023, killing more than 72,000 Palestinians, wounding around 172,000, and devastating about 90 of the enclave’s civilian infrastructure.
