Death toll from Israeli attacks on Gaza since ceasefire passes 1,000 The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire in Gaza has reached more than 1,000 since a US-brokered ceasefire last October, the enclave's health ministry said on Thursday, with at least four people reported killed in the latest strikes. Medics said an Israeli strike hit a vehicle on the main Omar al-Mokhtar road in Gaza City, killing three, as violence continues despite a new truce push by mediators. The Israeli military said it targeted Hamas fighters.
