On February 21, 2026, Israeli air strikes in the Jabalia camp and Qizan an-Najjar area of Gaza killed two Palestinians, marking a breach of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The attacks occurred during Ramadan, raising the death toll since the ceasefire to 614, with 1,640 wounded, according to Wafa. The Israeli military claimed one attack targeted a fighter who posed an immediate threat after crossing into Israel. These events followed the first meeting of President Trump's Board of Peace, where reconstruction efforts and security in Gaza were discussed. Nine countries pledged $7 billion for reconstruction, in addition to $10 billion from the US, though the estimated need is $70 billion. Five countries also pledged troops for an International Stabilization Force, but disarming Hamas remains a challenge.
