Gaza’s civil defense agency said Thursday that Israel has pounded several areas of the Palestinian territory since the announcement of a ceasefire deal, killing at least 73 people and wounding hundreds.

“Since the ceasefire agreement was announced, Israeli occupation forces have killed 73 people, including 20 children and 25 women,” agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP, adding that another 230 people were wounded in the “bombardments that are continuing,” a day after the truce announcement.

According to the health ministry in Gaza, Israel’s military offensive in the Strip has killed at least 46,788 Palestinians and wounded 110,453 since Oct. 7, 2023.
