Gaza Herald – Israeli attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip have increased significantly in the aftermath of the US-Israeli ceasefire with Iran, according to data compiled by the conflict monitoring group ACLED.
The report indicates a 35% rise in Israeli attacks in April compared with the previous month, pointing to a marked escalation in strikes and ground attacks across the enclave.
Figures from Gaza’s Ministry of Health show that at least 120 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed since April 8, when the Iran-related hostilities were paused, an increase of roughly 20% compared with the preceding five-week period.
Despite a ceasefire agreement reportedly brokered by the United States and Qatar, conditions on the ground in Gaza remain highly volatile, with residents describing continued attacks and widespread destruction.
Israeli occupation forces are reported to maintain control over large portions of Gaza territory, alongside ongoing detonations of remaining structures and repeated evacuation orders affecting civilian populations.
Humanitarian access remains heavily restricted, with aid deliveries and reconstruction efforts facing significant obstacles while more than two million displaced Palestinians continue to live in overcrowded shelters and temporary camps.
The report also notes that nearly 850 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire officially came into effect, underscoring the fragility of the truce and the persistence of attacks across the territory.
