At least 20 Palestinians were killed and many others injured in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. These attacks occurred shortly after a ceasefire agreement was announced, set to begin on January 19.

According to Anadolu, an Israeli air strike targeted a residential area in Gaza City’s Al-Nasr neighborhood, killing 15 people, including women and children. Numerous individuals were injured, and some remain missing under the rubble.

In another strike, Gaza’s civil defense reported to Anadolu that three members of the Nabeh family lost their lives when their home in Gaza City was bombed. Further south in Khan Younis, Israeli warplanes attacked the Lahham family home, resulting in the deaths of two Palestinians and injuring others, as stated by local paramedics.

These air strikes took place hours after Qatar, Egypt and US mediators brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Despite the announcement of the ceasefire, many residents remain anxious and uncertain about the future, hoping for peace but facing ongoing danger.
