Israel killed 1,574 Palestinians since 2025 ‘ceasefire’, Gaza ministry says

The Gaza health ministry says Israeli attacks continued after the ceasefire began on 10 October 2025. Since then, it reports 1,574 Palestinians killed and 5,687 injured. Its account shows that the announced ceasefire did not end reported casualties.

It also reports 845 additional bodies recovered from the rubble. In the latest 24-hour period, six Palestinians were killed and 38 wounded. That daily toll provides a concrete example of casualties continuing after the pause began.

These figures describe the ministry’s reported post-ceasefire deaths, injuries, and recovered bodies. The ministry also says the wider war since 7 October 2023 has killed 74,570 Palestinians and injured 175,808. The post-ceasefire figures therefore remain substantial, despite the ceasefire label. They show the ongoing human cost.

A ceasefire is an agreed pause or end to fighting between opposing sides. It can reduce deaths, enable aid and recovery, and create space for talks. It does not necessarily establish lasting peace.

In this article, the word appears in quotation marks because the claimed pause did not stop all violence. Gaza’s health ministry says Israeli attacks killed six Palestinians and wounded 38 in one 24-hour period. It also reports 1,574 deaths and 5,687 injuries since the ceasefire began on 10 October 2025.

That wording signals doubt about whether the arrangement functioned as a genuine ceasefire, rather than confirming a legal conclusion. Another 845 bodies were recovered from rubble. The article says total Palestinian deaths since 7 October 2023 reached at least 74,570. These figures show why monitoring compliance, protecting civilians, and securing aid access remain urgent.

Since the ceasefire began on 10 October 2025, Gaza’s health ministry reports 1,574 deaths and 5,687 injuries. That is far smaller than—but still part of—the reported toll since 7 October 2023: 74,570 deaths and 175,808 injuries. Measured together, the post-ceasefire figures represent about 3% of the reported deaths and injuries across the war.

For example, in the latest 24-hour period, Israeli attacks reportedly killed six Palestinians and wounded 38. The ministry attributes these casualties to continuing Israeli attacks, showing that the ceasefire has not ended deadly violence. It also says Israeli forces killed 1,574 Palestinians and injured 5,687 after the ceasefire took effect.

The comparison shows a smaller cumulative toll after the ceasefire than across the overall war, but not an absence of casualties. The ministry also reported 845 bodies recovered from rubble, adding to the humanitarian burden. These figures indicate continuing deaths, injuries, and recovery efforts despite the announced ceasefire.

Gaza’s Health Ministry is the territory’s public health authority, operating under Gaza’s Hamas-led administration. It records deaths and injuries reported by hospitals, morgues, ambulances, and registration teams, then publishes running totals during the war.

The article does not detail its collection process. In wartime, medical facilities typically send case details, including names when known, injuries, and locations. Staff combine reports, remove duplicates, and add unidentified bodies when they are recovered. Damage can delay identification, so totals may change.

For example, the ministry said six Palestinians were killed and 38 wounded in the latest 24-hour period. It reported 1,574 killed and 5,687 injured since October 10, 2025, plus 845 bodies recovered from rubble. These figures show both the scale of losses and the difficulty of documenting them during ongoing fighting.

Recovering 845 bodies from rubble shows that many civilians were trapped beneath collapsed buildings, often beyond immediate rescue. It points to extensive destruction and dangerous, difficult recovery conditions across Gaza.

The Gaza health ministry reported 845 bodies recovered from rubble after the October 10, 2025 ceasefire. That recovery means some deaths were confirmed only later, as teams searched destroyed areas rather than finding victims immediately.

These figures show that the ceasefire did not end the physical danger for civilians. The ministry says Israeli forces killed at least 1,574 Palestinians and injured 5,687 since then. Ongoing attacks, unstable ruins, and missing bodies leave families facing delayed funerals and uncertain recovery.

The wider toll comes from the Gaza war, which began on 7 October 2023. It followed a Hamas-led attack on Israel and Israel’s ensuing military campaign. The conflict continued through Israeli attacks, causing deaths, injuries, and people trapped beneath destroyed buildings.

A stark example came after the “ceasefire” announced on 10 October 2025. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported six deaths and 38 injuries during the previous 24 hours. Since that ceasefire began, it reported 1,574 Palestinians killed and 5,687 injured by Israeli forces. A further 845 bodies were recovered from the rubble, revealing victims from earlier destruction.

By 25 October 2026, the ministry’s cumulative estimate reached at least 74,570 Palestinians killed. It also reported 175,808 injured since 7 October 2023. These totals combine deaths across the wider war and post-ceasefire violence. The figures also include people killed earlier whose bodies remained under collapsed buildings. They show that a ceasefire did not end the human cost or resolve the conflict’s consequences.
