At least 15 Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Sunday as Israeli airstrikes continued despite US announcements of a ceasefire agreement.

Israeli military strikes across Gaza killed at least 15 Palestinians on Sunday, according to medical personnel, demonstrating that recent diplomatic claims have yet to halt operations on the ground. Warplanes targeted sites in Gaza City and Deir al-Balah.

The strikes follow US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire breakthrough, under which Israel was expected to stop bombardment and Hamas to disarm. However, Israeli authorities rejected reports of an agreement to cease attacks or withdraw forces from the enclave.

The latest deaths follow Saturday strikes that killed at least two people, highlighting the disconnect between diplomatic declarations and ongoing hostilities.
