The recent escalation in violence in the Gaza Strip has resulted in significant casualties, with reports indicating that Israeli strikes have killed between 20 to 30 Palestinians in a single day, marking one of the deadliest periods since a ceasefire was declared in October 2025. According to the Daily The Patriot, at least 23 Palestinians, including children, were killed in Israeli attacks, with the Palestine Red Crescent Society noting that a first responder was among the victims. The Frontier Post corroborates these figures, reporting that 24 people were killed, including three children, and at least 38 others were wounded. This surge in violence follows the reopening of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, which had been a significant step in the US-brokered truce efforts.
