At least 25 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip, the Hamas-run health ministry has reported. Among the casualties, ten individuals, including a woman and a young girl, died when an Israeli attack hit a ministry building in the eastern Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

The Israeli military stated it targeted 'Hamas terrorist sites' in response to gunfire directed at its soldiers in Khan Younis, claiming this action violated the current ceasefire.

The escalation in conflict comes just after the UN Security Council endorsed a controversial peace resolution aimed at stabilizing the situation in Gaza. The increased military actions showcase the fragility of the ceasefire and the dire humanitarian crisis that continues to unfold.

Gaza's Hamas-run Civil Defence agency reported multiple strikes impacting various sites, leading to significant damage and casualties, with civilians desperately caught in the crossfire.

The violence represents a sharp increase in hostilities that had seen several days of relative calm, with international observers concerned about the potential for further escalation.

As the situation develops, locals and international communities call for a renewed focus on peace talks and humanitarian aid for those affected by the ongoing strife.
