Attacks Continue Despite October Ceasefire; Five Neighbors Killed in Gaza’s Abbas Area

Fayek narrowly escaped an attack while heading to a nearby vegetable shop. Though he and his family were physically safe, his three daughters struggled to cope with the trauma.

Despite international discussions on Gaza’s future, local residents face daily uncertainty. Fayek’s family has been displaced multiple times over the past two years, losing relatives in previous attacks. He said, “Even without war, our life feels like a daily battle. We end each day searching for water and food.”

Analysts note that Israel seems unwilling to enter the second phase of the ceasefire due to political pressure, internal security strategies, and domestic tensions, leaving Gaza in a paralyzed state.
