20251120
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - More than 300 people have died in the Gaza Strip due to Israeli actions since the ceasefire agreement took effect, the Palestinian movement Hamas said.
On Wednesday, 25 people were killed as a result of Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, with at least 77 injured, the Gaza Health Ministry reported.
"We reject the Zionist claims that its forces came under fire, and consider them a flimsy and exposed attempt to justify its ongoing crimes and violations. Over 300 people have been killed since the ceasefire agreement was signed, alongside the continued homes' demolition policy and the closure of the Rafah crossing, representing a blatant Israeli defiance of the American and regional guarantors," Hamas said in a statement on Wednesday.
On October 10, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas went into effect. On October 13, US President Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a declaration on the Gaza ceasefire. Hamas released all 20 of the surviving hostages who had been held in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023. In exchange, Israel released about 2,000 Palestinian detainees from Gaza, including Palestinian prisoners serving long prison sentences.
