Israeli drone strike and West Bank settler attack leave two Palestinians dead
An Israeli drone strike killed a Palestinian in Gaza and settlers killed another in the West Bank, as the overall casualty toll in Gaza since the October 2025 ceasefire continues to climb.
A Palestinian was killed in an Israeli drone strike in the Gaza Strip, while another Palestinian died in a settler attack in the occupied West Bank. The two incidents underscore that violence in the region has continued even after a ceasefire between Israel and armed groups in Gaza was declared in October 2025.
Casualty toll keeps rising
According to the latest figures, a total of 1,439 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, with a further 5,052 people injured. These numbers show that despite the formally announced truce, deaths and injuries in the territory have not stopped but continue to accumulate.
Both the drone strike in Gaza and the settler violence in the West Bank fit into a broader pattern in which casualties continue to be reported in Palestinian territories despite the ceasefire's official status. The situation points to persistent tension in the region, where the formal truce has not brought a complete end to violence in either Gaza or the West Bank.
Individual incidents, such as drone strikes in Gaza and settler attacks in the West Bank, are being recorded on a regular basis, each adding to the overall death and injury toll compiled since the ceasefire began a year ago.
