Deadly Israeli Strikes Hit Gaza’s Al-Shati Camp and Al-Shifa Hospital Despite Ceasefire
Renewed deadly Israeli airstrikes struck the Al-Shati refugee camp and the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza on April 14, 2026, violating an officially established ceasefire that has been in place since October 10, 2025. The attacks resulted in the deaths of at least 11 Palestinians, including a three-year-old child, according to Gaza’s civil defence agency. Medical staff reported that five individuals were killed in a specific drone strike near a makeshift café within the camp. These incidents have raised the total death toll during the truce period to at least 757, a figure cited by the health ministry and deemed broadly credible by the United Nations. While Israel maintains that it is conducting limited operations targeting militants along military perimeters, Hamas has accused Israel of repeated ceasefire violations. Additional strikes were reported in Gaza City and Beit Lahia. Aid groups warn of deteriorating humanitarian conditions as independent verification remains difficult due to restricted access. The violence underscores the fragility of the current truce, with both sides exchanging accusations as tensions escalate once again in the region.
