Israeli Attacks Kill at Least 73 in Gaza as Ceasefire Plan Hangs in Balance

10/01/2025

Israel’s relentless destruction of Gaza and targeting of the Palestinian civilian population show no sign of abating, with at least 73 people killed in attacks since dawn, as Hamas’s acceptance of a United States ceasefire plan to end the genocidal two-year war remains uncertain. 

Two missiles struck al-Falah School on Wednesday, which had been converted into a shelter for hundreds of displaced people in the Zeitoun neighborhood east of Gaza City, where Israel has expanded its ground invasion alongside heavy aerial bombardment.  

Medical sources at al-Ahli Arab Hospital earlier told Al Jazeera that six people were killed and others were injured in the attack. 

Other attacks targeted a house in the Daraj neighborhood, killing at least seven people and injuring others, and the southeastern Zeitoun neighborhood, killing a child, medical sources told Al Jazeera. 

At least 47 of the latest 73 Palestinian victims were killed in Gaza City, sources told Al Jazeera.
