The strikes are part of near-daily Israeli attacks that have continued despite the ceasefire agreement reached in October 2025. 

While the heaviest fighting has subsided, Israeli forces also frequently fire on Palestinians near military-held zones.

Efforts to end the hostilities remain stalled, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisting the military will not withdraw from Gaza unless Hamas disarms first, while the Palestinian group maintains it will only give up its weapons once Israeli forces leave.
