Israeli airstrike kills two in Gaza despite ceasefire
Attack comes after peace envoys urged Israel to halt military operations under the US-backed ceasefire framework
GAZA CITY, Palestine (MNTV) — Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a vehicle southwest of Gaza City, according to Palestinian medical officials, in another violation of the ceasefire that has been in effect since Oct. 10, 2025.
A medical source told Anadolu Agency that emergency teams recovered two bodies from the scene of the strike in the Sheikh Ajlin area before transferring them to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
The strike was reported to be the first Israeli attack since the Board of Peace’s lead envoy for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, and board adviser Aryeh Lightstone publicly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to suspend military operations in line with US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace initiative.
Palestinian officials said the latest strike adds to concerns over the durability of the ceasefire, which has been repeatedly tested by continued violence despite diplomatic efforts to preserve the truce.
Israel did not immediately comment on the reported strike or the circumstances surrounding the attack.
The latest incident comes as international mediators continue efforts to sustain the ceasefire and prevent a return to wider hostilities in the Gaza Strip.
