Israeli Attacks Violate Gaza Ceasefire, Raising Death Toll in Late September 2026
By Drooid · · How we work
Background & Context
The conflict that began in October 2023 has continued despite a U.S.–backed ceasefire agreement announced for October 2025. The ceasefire, slated to take effect on October 11, 2025, obliges Israeli forces to halt offensive operations, yet multiple sources report ongoing violations across the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Health Ministry and Palestinian health authorities regularly publish casualty figures that track the war’s cumulative impact.
Recent Incidents (Core Event)
On September 24, 2026, Israeli attacks struck several locations in Gaza. Two Palestinians were killed and at least 27 injured, including seven wounded by gunfire in Jabalia and Rafah. Medical sources said Israeli military vehicles opened fire on tents sheltering displaced people in Al-Mawasi (northwest of Rafah) and in the Halawa camp east of Jabalia. An Israeli drone hit a vehicle on Al-Rashid Street in the Sheikh Ajlin neighborhood, injuring 11 people, four critically. Separate drone strikes killed a civilian in central Khan Younis and another in Al-Zawaaida, while artillery fire wounded civilians near the Bureij refugee camp.
