After Nine Months of Ceasefire, Over 1,000 Palestinians Killed—Raising Questions About What That Agreement Actually Means

A ceasefire is supposed to pause fighting while sides work out peace. But nine months into the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire, at least 1,084 Palestinians have died. It's unclear whether these deaths are scattered violations, misunderstandings between sides, or fighting continuing under a different name. A July 10 drone strike at a hospital that wounded six people shows the confusion: attacks keep happening, but nobody agrees on why or what they mean.
