Israeli Forces Kill 10 Palestinians in Latest Violations of U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire Deal

HeadlineJan 16, 2026

Israeli forces killed at least 10 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, mostly in a series of airstrikes on residences. Two homes were destroyed in an area of Deir al-Balah that was designated by Israel as a so-called safe zone. A third home was bombed in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Among the dead is a 62-year-old Palestinian woman killed by Israeli gunfire in southern Gaza. Israel has killed nearly five Palestinians per day, on average, since it agreed to a U.S.-brokered so-called ceasefire deal on October 10, bringing the death toll to 451 Palestinians and the number of injured to more than 1,250.

The latest killings came even as the Trump administration announced the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. President Trump announced Wednesday he’d formed a so-called Board of Peace for Gaza, with himself as the chair, alongside a 15-member committee of Palestinian technocrats given the assignment of governing postwar Gaza. This comes as the United Nations warned that it could take more than seven years to clear over 60 million tons of rubble in Gaza that’s piled up from more than two years of attacks by Israel.
