π° What Happened
An Israeli air strike killed four members of a Palestinian family as they slept in their home in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza. Two of the dead were girls aged 8 and 12.
The strike happened despite a ceasefire deal that began in October 2025.
Since that deal took effect, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,300 Palestinians, according to the report.
π The Backstory
The war in Gaza began after the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas on Israel. Israel's campaign has killed tens of thousands and destroyed much of Gaza.
A ceasefire in October 2025 was meant to stop the fighting. But strikes have continued and the truce remains fragile.
Aid groups warn of a deep humanitarian crisis. Many families live in ruins with little food, water or medical care.
π― Why It Matters
It shows that a ceasefire deal has not stopped civilians from dying. Families in Gaza still live with the threat of sudden attacks.
