JAKARTA - The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has reached more than 1,000 since the US-mediated ceasefire last October, the region's health ministry said on Thursday, after at least three people were reported killed in the latest attack.
Medical officials said an Israeli strike on a vehicle on Gaza City's main Omar al-Mokhtar Street killed three people, as violence continued despite new ceasefire efforts by mediators.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incident.
Including the latest incident, the number of Palestinians killed since the October 2025 ceasefire mediated by US President Donald Trump is 1,008, the health ministry said, citing Al Arabiya from Reuters (19/6).
Meanwhile, Israel said four of its soldiers had been killed by militants in the period.
Israel says its attacks are aimed at thwarting imminent attacks by Hamas and other militants. Hamas rarely reveals information about the deaths of its fighters.
Israel and Hamas remain at loggerheads over how to proceed with the next phase of Trump's Gaza plan, which involves Hamas laying down its arms and Israel withdrawing its forces.
Separately, Nickolay Mladenov, the Trump administration's envoy for Gaza, held talks this week in Cairo with mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey after Hamas and other Palestinian factions delivered their responses to a so-called road map he had presented, two sources close to the talks said.
On Wednesday, the sources told Reuters, Mladenov gave Hamas and the factions a revised version of the road map, addressing some of the factions' concerns while still maintaining the "core red lines" of Trump's plan. The sources did not provide further details.
A Hamas official confirmed to Reuters that the document was being studied.
Israeli forces still control more than 60 percent of Gaza, where they have ordered residents to evacuate and destroyed remaining buildings.
Almost the entire population of two million, most of whom have been displaced several times, now live on a small plot of land along the coast, mainly in makeshift tents or damaged buildings, under Hamas control.
As of Wednesday, the number of Palestinian deaths due to Israel's genocidal aggression in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has reached 73,016, while the number of injured has reached 173,264 people, the majority of whom are children and women, reported WAFA.
