More than 900 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza this year, despite the ceasefire, according to the latest figures from the territory's Hamas-run Ministry of Health. This brings the total number of people killed in the Strip since the 10 October ceasefire was declared to over 1,300, including 301 children, as

The ceasefire was agreed upon after US President Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan, which included a suspension of "all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment". However, since then, BBC Verify has analyzed dozens of videos that show the impact of Israeli strikes on locations such as a beachside cafe, tents where displaced people have been sheltering, and a reported funeral procession in central Gaza.

These incidents have resulted in significant loss of life, with recent months being some of the most deadly according to the figures.

According health ministry, deaths directly

According to the health ministry, the deaths are directly attributed to Israeli military action, but it does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. The UN considers these figures reliable, and experts have told BBC Verify that their independent analysis is consistent with the ministry's data.

However, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) disputes the ministry's figures, stating that there is "no basis to assume" that all those listed were killed as a result of IDF activity.

The IDF claims to operate in a precise manner to remove threats and protect its troops and Israeli civilians, in accordance with the agreement. It also states that it works to mitigate any civilian harm "to the greatest extent possible".

However, recent reports suggest that an Israeli security official acknowledged more than 70,000 people had been killed in the Gaza war, which included more than 20,000 combatants. The health ministry recorded 251 deaths between the start of the ceasefire agreement on 10 October and the end of that month, with a significant increase in deaths every month since then.

The highest monthly death toll this year was recorded in July, when 152 people were killed, including 21 children. This is according to the figures from the health ministry, which also reported that five of its soldiers have been killed in combat since the ceasefire and one contractor was killed in an "operational accident".
