Hospitals in Gaza said Israeli strikes killed at least 29 Palestinians on Saturday (January 31, 2026), one of the highest tolls since the October ceasefire aimed at stopping the fighting.
A day after Israel accused Hamas of new ceasefire violations, strikes hit locations throughout Gaza, including a tent camp, an apartment building and a police station.
The series of strikes also came a day before the Rafah crossing along the border with Egypt, a key step in last year’s agreement brokered as a path to ending the war, is set to open.
