Hey amigos, heavy news from Gaza City and Khan Younis refugee camp. After intense fighting, Hamas agreed to a peace deal, and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu halted the ground advance to switch into defense mode. This move came after President Donald Trump's October 3 demand to stop bombings and secure hostage releases. 😔🕊️
But here's the catch: overnight airstrikes still hit residential blocks, destroying around 20 buildings. Tragically, at least six Palestinians—including children—lost their lives, reports Gaza's civil defense agency.
According to the Hamas-controlled Gaza health ministry, the war's death toll has soared past 66,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians. Injuries exceed 100,000, and Gaza now faces the world's highest rate of child amputations per capita. 💔
Military correspondent Doron Kadosh from Galei Tzahal noted the Israeli Air Force continued targeting Hamas positions in Gaza City right after the peace announcement. Three IDF divisions still maintain a tight siege from all sides.
The humanitarian toll keeps climbing, and families in Gaza are caught in the crossfire. It feels like a grim sequel to a war movie—but the heartbreak is real. 🎥💔 As a digitally savvy generation, we watch and hope for peace, but the reality on the ground remains harsh.
