DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli fire in Gaza killed at least 17 Palestinians, most of them women and children, hospital officials said Wednesday, while Israel said militant gunfire had injured an Israeli soldier.

They were the latest Palestinian deaths since a ceasefire, which has been punctuated by deadly Israeli strikes, came into effect on Oct. 10, 2025.

More than 530 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the deal took effect, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
