Israeli forces have killed at least 11 Palestinians in attacks across the Gaza Strip, medical sources said, as United States President Donald Trump announced that his newly formed Board of Peace has pledged $5bn to rebuild the war-devastated territory.
The Israeli killings on Sunday mark the latest violation of a US-brokered “ceasefire” that came into effect on October 10.

Hospital sources told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces targeted tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing at least five people.
They said Israeli attacks also killed five others in southern Khan Younis.
Separately, sources in Gaza told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces killed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) commander Sami al-Dahdouh in an attack in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, on Sunday.
Hazem Qassem, a spokesperson for Hamas, condemned the latest Israeli attacks as a “new massacre” and a “criminal escalation”.
He said they were a “clear attempt to impose a bloody reality on the ground and send a message that all efforts and bodies concerned with establishing calm in Gaza are meaningless, and that the occupation is continuing its aggression despite all parties speaking of the necessity of adhering to the ceasefire agreement”.
According to authorities in Gaza, Israel has killed at least 601 Palestinians and wounded 1,607 others since the “ceasefire” came into effect. The Government Media Office in Gaza also said Israel has carried out at least 1,620 violations of the agreement between October 10, 2025 and February 10, 2026.
Israel accuses Hamas of violating the agreement. It says four soldiers have been killed.
