In October 2025, Israel called for a ceasefire after occupying the land of Gaza for 2 years. This ceasefire was called, but shortly after was retracted because of an alleged attack on Israel by Hamas. Israeli forces then stated this was due to the "blatant violation" of the agreement on behalf of Hamas. Strikes were then continued leading to the death of 44 more civilians and many injuries according to hospital sources. The IDF still occupy and have control of over 50% of the Gaza strip, and in the past 2 years has killed almost 70,000 people. Since October 7th, 2023, over 70% of the buildings within the Gaza strip have been destroyed.
