Palestinian health officials in Gaza reported on Feb. 15, 2026, that 11 Palestinians were killed in the territory over a 24-hour period during ongoing Israeli military operations. The reports emerged amid continued hostilities in the region following a ceasefire agreement established on Oct. 10.
According to a report by the Al Jazeera Media Network, the deaths contribute to a larger casualty count recorded since the October ceasefire. The network’s report stated that 601 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since that date. The same report cited more than 1,600 alleged violations of the ceasefire by Israeli forces.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not immediately issue a public statement regarding specific operations in Gaza that corresponded with the timeframe of the reported fatalities. The specific circumstances surrounding the deaths have not yet been detailed in official statements.
The Oct. 10 ceasefire was brokered with the goal of de-escalating the conflict between Israel and armed factions in Gaza. Since its implementation, both sides have accused the other of violations, and sporadic violence has continued. International organizations and foreign governments have repeatedly called for adherence to the terms of the agreement and a reduction in military activities.
The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip remains a focus of international attention. Aid organizations continue to provide services in the region while monitoring the effects of the ongoing conflict on the civilian population. The latest reported casualties are part of the continuing documentation of the conflict’s impact by health authorities and media outlets on the ground.
