Israeli military strikes have killed at least 15 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The ceasefire agreement, mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, is in a fragile state, with ongoing violence highlighting its fragility. Israel wants to extend the ceasefire's first phase, while Hamas insists on progressing to the second phase. Talks are ongoing to try to prevent a resumption of fighting. The war between Israel and Hamas began in 2023 and has resulted in significant casualties and destruction.
