Despite Israel’s claim that it had resumed its ceasefire after a deadly wave of attacks across the strip on Tuesday, the Israeli army carried out numerous airstrikes across Gaza.

At least 119 people were killed in police raids on drug gangs in Rio de Janeiro, prompting protests to break out. Claudio Castro, the governor, defended the raids, claiming that officers “didn’t intend to kill anyone” and faced armed retaliation.

In a series of Israeli airstrikes against southern Gaza, which was the worst violation of the ceasefire, over 100 people died and 253 others were hurt on Wednesday alone.

In southern Gaza on Thursday morning, the Israeli army carried out ten airstrikes against Khan Younis. Israel claimed on Wednesday that the ceasefire had been reinstated following a string of strikes it claimed were carried out in retaliation for Hamas killing one of its soldiers in southern Gaza, a charge Hamas denies.
Since the ceasefire ended, at least 211 people have died and 597 have been hurt in Israeli attacks, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
The deep mechanical hum of the drones in the skies of the entire Gaza Strip is a constant reminder of how fragile this ceasefire has been, according to Hani Mahmoud, a reporter for Al Jazeera from Gaza City. It is also a “reminding that peace is out of reach in this region.
People constantly complain about how uncertain they are, how worried they are about the ceasefire holding, and how they can lessen the level of fear and trauma they’ve been through.
According to US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan, Israel’s attacks on Gaza violate the ceasefire agreement that became effective on October 10. In exchange for nearly 2, 000 Palestinian prisoners, the release of Israeli prisoners is a major milestone. Additionally, the plan envisages the establishment of a new Hamas-unfriendly governing structure and the reconstruction of Gaza.
Palestinians are deeply affected by Israel’s war in Gaza, which has caused at least 68,527 deaths and 170,395 injuries. The unimaginable suffering continues to permeate the country.
We’re awaiting a genuine chance to try to rebuild our lives. The first week or two after the war saw a new beginning for things, but thankfully the truce was broken before it abruptly ended. When the second breach occurred, Gaza resident Mazen Shaheen told Al Jazeera, “We hadn’t even caught our breath.”
Israel’s repeated ceasefire violations have left many Palestinians without hope.
People who had just begun to feel some sense of security, peace, and reassurance, especially the children and women, are once again living in fear, according to Gaza City resident Hassan Lubbad, according to Al Jazeera.

People in Gaza City complain that the ceasefire hasn’t brought any peace or certainty, only raising more questions about when the next strike will occur, whether it will enter more quickly, or whether this cycle of fear will end. Mahmoud remarked.
Palestinians are determined to inform the world of their opinions regarding the ceasefire and what they expect from the international community.
Where are the international guarantees that were promised, is what we want to say. Where are the mediating nations who stepped up to negotiate the ceasefire and pledged to keep it? Shaheen remarked.
In the attacks on Wednesday, one of Shaheen’s friends was hurt. He claimed that his friend’s condition is now stable.

When his injuries struck in front of his teammates, who typically are practice pitches enclosed by netting, in the nets.
Austin’s passing on Wednesday was confirmed by the Ferntree Gully Cricket Club.
The club stated in a statement that “we are completely devastated by the passing of Ben, and the impact of his death will be felt by everyone in our cricket team.” Our thoughts and prayers are with Ben’s family, friends, and all those who knew him and the joy he brought.
Michael Finn, president of the Ringwood and District Cricket Association, claimed Austin was warming up in the nets at the time of the injury.
He claimed that “people were at the ground at the time until the paramedics arrived” and that “medical assistance was provided by people.”
Ben’s father, Jace Austin, issued a statement to Ben’s family, according to Cricket Australia.
Ben has been taken from us by this tragedy, but we can at least find some peace knowing that he has spent so many summers playing cricket on the sidelines with his friends. He declared, “One of the joys of his life was cricket.
We also want to support his teammate’s bowling in the nets because it has affected two young men, and his family and he are also in his thoughts.
According to Cricket Victoria CEO Nick Cummins, who was quoted by The Australian Broadcasting Corp, Austin had been wearing a helmet and that “the ball hit him in the neck in a similar accident that Phil Hughes suffered ten years ago.”
Phillip Hughes, an international cricketer, passed away in a Sydney hospital two days after being struck near the ear by a ball in a first-class match against his former team, New South Wales. He was 25.
