Israeli Airstrikes Kill at Least 24 Palestinians Despite U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire

HeadlineNov 24, 2025

Funerals are being held in Gaza today after Israeli airstrikes killed at least 24 people on Saturday, despite the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that began on October 10. Gaza’s Government Media Office says Israel has violated the truce nearly 500 times in 44 days. Meanwhile, UNICEF reports that Israel has killed two children every day during the ceasefire. At least 67 children have been killed in Gaza in recent weeks. This is Ahmed Abu Shaweesh, whose relatives were killed in Israeli airstrikes over the weekend.

Ahmed Abu Shaweesh: “What’s the reason? Nobody knows. Aren’t we supposed to be in a truce? We’re looking at the house. We’ve been trying to forget this scene for a month. We’re starting to go back to our normal life. How are we supposed to go back to normal life? We are back to martyrs, back to destruction, back to injuries. What’s the reason? We’re confused. No one knows.”
