Israeli air strikes have killed 101 Palestinians since the announcement of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, according to an official tally today.

Spokesperson of Gaza’s Civil Defence service, Mahmoud Basal, said the latest attacks killed 31 women and 27 children.

The fatalities came after the announcement of a ceasefire deal on Wednesday, which is due to take effect on Sunday.

Basal confirmed that 82 of those killed were in Gaza’s northern governorates, while 16 were in the southern regions, including 14 in Khan Younis and two in Rafah. The remaining five were killed in the Central Governorate of Gaza.

The violence also left over 264 people injured, with the numbers expected to rise as attacks continue.

The deal includes a prisoner exchange and sustained calm, aiming for a permanent truce and the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Gaza.
