Children Among the Dead as Israel Continues to Bombard Gaza, Despite Ceasefire Deal

HeadlineJun 29, 2026

In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire have killed at least four Palestinians over the past 24 hours. Among the dead is Eileen al-Farra, a 13-year-old girl struck by shrapnel from an Israeli tank shell that fired on Khan Younis. This follows deadly strikes Saturday on makeshift tents in al-Mawasi, an area Israel had designated as a “safe zone.” Those attacks left several wounded and killed two siblings, 15-year-old Islam Moussa and her 30-year-old brother Abdullah. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports Israel has killed at least 1,045 people in Gaza since it agreed, on paper, to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire last October.

Meanwhile, the so-called Board of Peace set up by President Trump to govern Gaza is planning a sweeping grant of legal immunity for itself. That’s according to The Guardian, which reports a draft of the resolution would also let the Board of Peace obtain public property in Gaza “free of charge.”
