Israeli military attacks on the Gaza Strip have increased significantly in the weeks following the suspension of the joint US-Israel bombing campaign against Iran, according to a new report by conflict monitor ACLED.
The report, released on Wednesday, stated that Israeli attacks in Gaza rose by 35 percent in April compared with March, indicating a major escalation in military operations after the Iran ceasefire took effect.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 120 Palestinians — including eight women and 13 children — have been killed in Israeli strikes since the US-Israel war on Iran paused on April 8. The figure represents a 20 percent increase compared with the five weeks before the ceasefire.
A Palestinian resident, Lafi al-Najjar, whose son was killed in an Israeli strike on April 28, said life in Gaza remains deadly despite ceasefire announcements.
> “The war is still ongoing. It stopped in the announcement, but on the ground, the war has not stopped,” he told Reuters.
Najjar and his family are currently sheltering in the ruins of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The Israeli military has not officially explained the reasons behind the increase in strikes. Although a US- and Qatar-mediated ceasefire agreement was announced last October, Israeli forces continue military operations across Gaza and still control large parts of the territory.
More than two million Palestinians remain trapped in overcrowded coastal areas, many living in damaged buildings or temporary tents amid severe shortages of food, medicine and humanitarian aid.
Reports indicate that about 850 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began, while at least four Israeli soldiers have also died in clashes with Palestinian armed groups.
Israel has also expanded military operations in Lebanon since March, launching air raids and ground attacks despite a separate ceasefire agreement in the country.
