Violations of the Gaza ceasefire continue as Israeli attacks and crossfire claimed the lives of eight Palestinians, including three journalists and two children, according to Arab media reports.

The journalists—identified as Mohammad Salah Qashta, Anas Ghanim, and Abdul Raouf Sha’at—were reportedly targeted when their vehicle came under fire in the Al-Zahra area. The Israeli army stated that the strike was aimed at individuals suspected of operating drones linked to Hamas in the same region.

Since the ceasefire came into effect, ongoing Israeli operations have killed a total of 466 Palestinians, raising fears that the fragile truce is under severe threat. Residents and local authorities in Gaza have condemned the continued violence, highlighting the growing humanitarian crisis and the risks faced by civilians and journalists covering the conflict.

Despite international attention, critics say the United States and the global community have largely remained silent over the repeated violations of the ceasefire. Observers stress the urgent need for renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent further casualties and stabilize the region.

The attacks underline the dangers faced by media personnel in conflict zones, as journalists continue to report under life-threatening conditions. Human rights groups have called for independent investigations into attacks on press members and emphasized the importance of protecting civilians under international law.

As tensions escalate, there are increasing calls for immediate intervention to restore peace in Gaza and ensure that humanitarian aid and safety measures reach affected communities.
