Israeli Strikes Kill 33 in Gaza; Trump Insists Ceasefire Remains Intact

On October 28, 2025, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 33 Palestinians according to Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency. Attacks targeted multiple locations such as Bureij refugee camp, Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City and Khan Younis; following Israeli allegations that Hamas had violated a three-week-old ceasefire by killing one Israeli soldier with sniper fire reportedly.
Trump issued an immediate reaffirmation of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement, declaring that nothing will “jeopardize” it. He stressed Israel’s right to defend itself if attacked and demanded Hamas behave itself to maintain peace. Trump made these remarks shortly before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered strikes as a powerful response against an alleged Hamas attack.
Recent events have raised serious doubts about the sustainability of the ceasefire agreement and renewed conflict. Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating it, leading to tension-filled circumstances. International observers continue to monitor closely, encouraging both parties to exercise restraint and adhere to terms of the ceasefire to avoid further loss of life.
