The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 93 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks and 324 others wounded since a ceasefire took effect in the besieged territory earlier this month.

In its statement released on Saturday, the ministry reported that in the last 48 hours, 19 people who were killed in Israeli attacks have been brought to Gaza hospitals, along with another seven who have sustained injuries.

It also noted that the death toll from Israel`s two-year genocidal war has now reached 68,519 fatalities and 170,382 injuries since October 7, 2023.

A ceasefire deal took effect on October 10 in the Gaza Strip, based on a phased plan presented by US President Donald Trump. The first phase included the release of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

According to Gaza`s Government Media Office, Israel has violated the ceasefire agreement with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas 80 times since the truce took hold.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian child was seriously injured by Israeli occupation gunfire in the northwest of the southern city of Rafah.

In another incident, two individuals were wounded when Israeli forces shelled a civilian vehicle in Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Yunis.

On Friday, Israeli forces detonated residential buildings southeast of Khan Yunis and shelled eastern Deir al-Balah in central Gaza with artillery fire.

Tragically, two Palestinian brothers were killed in an artillery strike east of Deir al-Balah, with Israeli forces alleging they had crossed the so-called "Yellow Line."

The attacks occurred despite reports from Israeli media indicating that Washington has been urging Tel Aviv to avoid escalating tensions or implementing punitive measures over Hamas`s alleged failure to return all the bodies of Israeli captives as agreed upon in the ceasefire deal.

Hamas has already fulfilled its part by releasing all 20 remaining living Israeli captives and nine dead captives.

Hamas says it has handed over all the remains it could currently locate and that recovering the rest may require more time and specialized equipment.

The resistance group has placed responsibility for the deaths and missing bodies, believed to be buried under rubble along with thousands of civilians, on Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his cabinet, and the military.

Israel has used delays in the return of captive bodies as justification for continuing its attacks, keeping the Rafah crossing closed, and halving the flow of humanitarian aid into the besieged territory.

While mediators had hoped the ceasefire would stabilize conditions on the ground, Israel`s latest violations signaled a return to pressure tactics, raising fears that the genocide could soon resume amid a worsening humanitarian crisis.
