Nine Palestinians Killed in Israeli Strikes During Eid al-Fitr Holiday

At least nine Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip during the Eid al-Fitr holiday, marking the third consecutive year Palestinians in Gaza faced deadly strikes during the Islamic festival. Palestinian health officials reported 687 Palestinians killed since the US-brokered ceasefire began in October 2025. OCHA's March 19 situation report had documented 35 Palestinians killed between March 6–17 alone. UN human rights officials warned of a pattern of unlawful killings amid the ongoing ceasefire framework. Families concluded the month of Ramadan in overcrowded shelters with limited access to food, medicine, and clean water.
