Israeli strikes kill five in Gaza a year into 'ceasefire'

· Security · Palestine · Israel

Israeli strikes killed at least five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in two separate attacks, health officials said, while an Israeli strike destroyed a residential building in Gaza City's Al-Rimal neighbourhood. The violence comes a year after a ceasefire that residents say has not become a reality, with widespread hunger persisting as families queue for hours at community kitchens. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations were held worldwide to mark one year since the ceasefire, and London saw thousands gather, with 20 arrests. The strikes underscore how fragile the truce remains.

Why it matters：Continued strikes and hunger in Gaza show the ceasefire is fragile, with consequences for regional stability and humanitarian relief.
