Israeli Forces Kill at Least 3 Palestinians Despite U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire

HeadlineNov 17, 2025

In Gaza, Israeli forces have killed at least three Palestinians as Israel continues to violate the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Since the start of the truce on October 10, at least 266 Palestinians have been killed and 635 wounded by Israeli attacks. Physicians for Human Rights-Israel is reporting that at least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 2023, and that the real death toll is likely to be much higher because hundreds of people detained in Gaza are still missing. Meanwhile, UNICEF estimates more than 600,000 Palestinian children have missed out on school during the war, and only 100,000 have managed to return to classrooms. Humanitarian NGOs say Israel is still restricting the entry of food aid and other critical supplies into the Gaza Strip. Here’s Zahia Al-Shambari, who waited in line to buy bread in Khan Younis.

Zahia Al-Shambari: “After two hours of struggle at the supermarket to get a bag of bread, thank God, I finally got one bag of bread for about eight people. I’m really happy that I’m returning with a bag of bread. And I hope the suffering doesn’t happen again, not today, not tomorrow, not any other day.”
